Residence Life and You

If you were to ask anyone you know who lived on campus during their college experience if they have any fond memories, you’ll likely hear “Yes, of course!” Living on campus is an essential part of the quintessential college experience, and we are committed to establishing and maintaining a living and learning environment where you can thrive.

Your Resident Assistant (RA) is your primary contact point for most issues you may face. Think of them as a helper; they’re here to answer questions relating to campus life, assist in resolving problems you may be facing, and direct you to resources if you want to get more involved in educational and social activities.
