FOR THE ULTRA-BUSY STUDENT

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.
