Students talking in Arcadia Flats
Students who choose campus housing are part of active, social communities living in close proximity to dining, classes, campus events and resources. It's easy to make friends, get immersed in college life, and build a foundation for personal success. Through it all, Housing staff is there to ease your transition to college and provide support for any challenges you may face.
