Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students have mixed feelings about on-campus living. Some have the best experiences, awesome roommates, and meet long-lasting friends in their dorms, while others are not so lucky. It is the luck of the draw as to whom you room with. If you don't happen to like your roommate, you can always move in to a new room or make friends and spend the time in their rooms. 

The dorms themselves are kept as clean as possible. Some are much newer than others, so the newer dorms tend to be better looking and provide students with the opportunity to have their own rooms rather than sharing. Most dorms are centrally located; there are a few, such as Mark Twain Hall, that are a little out of the way, but it's only a 15-minute walk to most classes. If you are looking to make friends, all dorms provide a great social environment. The RAs try to get everyone from the floor to socialize, and they will hold events throughout the week to make it easier for people to meet each other.

Close, but Expensive

The best thing about living on campus is that it is convenient. You're there, you don't have to fight traffic or pay for gas, and just about every service you need can be found on campus (banks, movies, food, etc.). However, the rent is more expensive than most apartments and the expensive, mandatory meal plan is not worth its cost.

Underclassman Dorms

Most dorms for Freshman and Sophomores are newly renovated and the living space in the halls are quite large. Great place to hang out with friends or pull an all nighter.
