Why Live on Campus?

Security
The safety and security of our residents is a top priority of the Residence Life staff. All residence halls offer controlled card access entry, 24-hour front desk assistants and hall staff on each floor. In addition, University police officers assist with desk operations on a nightly basis and patrol the exterior and interior of our halls. The UPD service kiosks, located in the Freshman Quad and near Vann hall, are operated at strategic times of the evening to provide greater assistance to our students. Students also have access to a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week escort service.

Success
Research indicates that students who live in residence halls show a higher scholastic performance and are more likely to graduate than those who live off campus. In addition to having a higher GPA, residents are often more involved in campus organizations and student activities.

The Residence Life staff encourages high academic success by offering programs that help students with study skills as well as providing them with a quiet study lounge in most halls. We also provide tutoring in the halls for general courses at no cost to the student.

Fun and Friends
Living in a residence hall is an easy way to meet many people from all over the state, country and even the world! The Residence Hall Association (RHA) organizes many fun activities to help build relationships and memories that will last a lifetime!

These are just a few of the many advantages of living in campus housing. To truly understand and appreciate all that it has to offer, you have to experience it yourself! APPLY TODAY! SPACE IS LIMITED!
