We like to think of our residence halls not as merely where you sleep, eat, and study, but where you live... it's home. We take seriously the importance of community, of building friendships and of creating a supportive environment not just for studying, but for living.
Twenty-two percent of all students (including 91% of freshmen entering in fall quarter) live in campus housing. For entering freshmen, the residence halls offer you the convenience of living within a five-minute bike ride of lecture halls, academic resources, lab facilities and recreational opportunities. Residence hall life eases the transition from living in your parents' home to living on your own, without all the hassles of paying for utilities or preparing meals. With live-in staff to provide guidance and help you network during your first year, you'll be well-prepared to complete your degree in no time!
