Housing & Dining

Housing & Dining

First-year students are required to live in one of the dormitories on campus.  All rooms have air-conditioning and a shared kitchen.  Each room should have two occupants.  You can choose to have us find a roommate for you or you can ask to room with a particular person. 

Sophomores, juniors, seniors and graduate students have the option of living on campus or moving to an apartment or house off-campus.  Upperclassmen have priority for dorm placement. 

Housing forms must be completed and submitted by the deadline.  If you miss the deadline, housing preferences cannot be guaranteed.

Living on campus is a great way to meet people and make new friends.  All dorms are within walking distance of the main campus area where classes are held and all sports stadiums.  Students living in dorms are required to leave over the fall, winter and spring breaks and well as during the summer vacation.  Housing is available during the summer, but only select dorms remain open.
