Our beautiful residential campus offers many great living opportunities including the residence halls and fraternity or sorority chapter facilities, all of which fulfill your first year live-on requirement.
Research has shown that students who live on campus have higher GPAs and graduate faster. Learn more about our policy. Exemptions are considered by the Office of the Dean of Students.
