Living and Learning Together

Having made the choice to live in our residence halls, you will engage with many other students – some of whom will become great friends of yours – in multitudes of experiences that should make your university years among the happiest and must fulfilling of your life.


We believe great experiences at great universities don't just happen. Great experiences are the product of you applying your knowledge and skills and being open to learning life's lessons within our university dynamic, culturally diverse and challenging academic community.


In our residence halls, you will learn and grow as a person as you accept and act on responsibilities you will have to practice good citizenship, put your scholarly-pursuits first, and develop leadership abilities.


We in Resident Life have responsibilities to you, too. We view our responsibility to you as helping to shape the number of useful and positive experiences in which you can be involved. We organize our efforts in the primary area: Customer Service, Community Living, and our Multicultural Philosophy.
