Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The University has made great efforts over the last several years to draw students to campus by expanding the housing options on campus. This effort has helped to create the residential community the school now enjoys. One popular option for upperclassmen is the on-campus houses owned by the University. Greek students have the option of living in the Greek houses, which are also owned by the University, and upperclassmen have their choice of any dorm they wish to live in.

Freshmen live in one of nine well-kept residence halls, which are arranged in two quadrangles on the north and south sides of campus. Each building has recreational areas, vending machines, kitchen facilities, coin-operated laundry machines, a television lounge, a piano lounge, and study areas. If you are not a big fan of communal bathrooms, you can opt for suite-style living after freshman year. Those who do share a bathroom with their entire floor have little to worry about; cleaning services keep the facilities decent and livable, and you will rarely have to wait for a shower.

Quite Spacious

The dorm rooms are bigger than average, and they never try to fit one more person in that shouldn't be there. Rarely do I have to wait for the washer and dryers, and I have NEVER had to wait for a shower. We have plenty of room and they are all located basically in the middle of campus.

Housing

Dorms aren't too bad, much bigger than a state school dorm. Don't plan on using the kitchens because they are generally pretty messy. Te housing lottery in later years can be stressful when trying for a house. I believe it is cheaper to rent a house than going through the lottery.
