Living on campus keeps you connected to your classes, labs and classmates, while giving you access to the academic and personal support you need to succeed. Here, campus life is about belonging, balance and preparing for what comes next.
Live close to classes, labs and campus resources in classic residence halls designed for community living. Rooms typically include shared bathrooms, study spaces, lounges and on-site laundry, with Resident Advisors providing support.
Suite-style halls offer shared bedrooms connected by a private or semi-private bathroom. These spaces balance independence and community, with common areas for studying and socializing.
For students looking for more independence, apartment-style options include private or shared bathrooms, kitchens and living areas. These residences are still connected to campus life while offering a more independent living experience.
