Reasons to Live on Campus

Academic Success

Students who live on campus are more likely to get better grades, stay in school and graduate. With reliable high-speed internet and easy access to library resources, group study sessions and academic support resources, it just makes sense.

Value

Choosing on-campus housing has distinct financial benefits, too, versus living off campus.

  • Leases tied to the academic semester rather than the calendar year.
  • All utilities included, including high-speed internet and wifi.
  • Free laundry facilities.
  • Housing charges assessed directly to tuition to include with financial aid each semester.
