Where you live has a lot to do with your success in college. Our residence halls provide a comfortable, supportive, and convenient living environment. All newly admitted first year students without previous college experience who are single, under 21, and who do not live with their parents, are required to live in the residence halls for the first two semesters. First year students are guaranteed a room in one of our ten residence halls. Each hall has facilities to meet the diverse interests and needs of its residents. In addition, some halls provide special floors that are designated for either specific majors or special interests. Dining is offered at nine dining centers located throughout the residence halls. Laundry facilities, study rooms, and television lounges also are available in each residence hall.
