Apartment- or Dorm-style Housing:
Which is right for you?

Dorm-style University Housing

Dorm-style University Housing lets you focus on the things that are most important to you—classes, athletics, performing arts, jobs and internships, and socializing. Let the University help manage many stressful aspects of life so you don’t have to—like cooking, cleaning, repair and maintenance, and keeping track of utilities. You’ll save even more time and energy on travel by being close to classes and practices. And having a University Meal Plan also saves you time while providing nutritional support for your physically and mentally demanding academic and extra-curricular schedule. Dorm-style Housing is a great option for the ultra-busy student, athlete, or performer who wants to focus on their passion and leave the rest to us!

Apartment-style University Housing

Apartment-style University Housing gives you all the benefits of apartment living—like having access to a kitchen, more shared living spaces, and more privacy—plus all the benefits and convenience of University Housing. Living close to classes and practices is convenient and saves you time. Plus, University staff, such as Security, IT, Housing, Maintenance, and Student Life are all available to support you and help resolve issues quickly. Add a partial meal plan to reduce stress even further, save more time, and provide nutritional support for your physically and mentally demanding academic and extra-curricular schedule. Apartment-style Housing is a great option for the busy student who wants to maintain maximum living flexibility!
