First-Year Housing
All of our first-year housing is located near the center of campus. First-year residence halls are comprised almost entirely of double rooms, and most have a kitchen and all have laundry facilities. Laundry rooms have new high-efficiency washers and commercial grade dryers in all buildings at no extra cost. First-year halls also include a lounge that may include a TV, piano, pool table, or other recreational equipment. Most first-year buildings are co-ed by floor, we also typically offer two same gender buildings.
Campus housing includes wireless Internet, which is available throughout the entire campus. Students living on campus are also provided with light housekeeping services. All rooms are provided with a waste paper basket and recycling bin. First-year housing does not have air conditioning or carpeted rooms.
