The Residential Experience
We know that learning happens in a developmental way. We structure our residential experience to meet students in those developmental moments. Our students are assigned housing based on class year. Our first year experience is a foundational piece for the learning and community conversations students will have in the sophomore, junior and senior years on campus.
Not only does our curriculum for the residential experience flow from year to year, but also semester to semester. Our approach is interwoven between months and semesters to allow for a seamless transition between years and between residential communities.

Being assigned a room in one of our residence halls is not the end of a student’s journey with Residential Life, it is the beginning.
Undergraduate students must receive permission from the Office of Residential Life to live outside the residence halls.
