For returning students, the deadline to submit your Housing and Dining Agreement has passed. You may still submit an application through the Housing Portal; however, all applications received after February 24 will be placed on our housing waitlist. If you become eligible for housing, you will receive an email notification.

Home Away From Home

There's nothing like bonding with your floormates and creating lifelong friendships when living on-campus. You'll be surrounded by students experiencing similar journeys and have support when you need it. From hall and community programs to athletic and campus events, to leadership roles and on-campus employment, your calendar will be full and your skills will soar!
