On-campus living for First-Year Students

As a Tier One residential institution, a critical component is an ability and expectation for first-year students to live on campus. The residential experience fosters academic success, student growth and development, diversity, and community. Expecting first-year students to live on campus ensures students have immediate access to exceptional resources while experience diversity and contributing to institutional excellence.
