Professional and paraprofessional staff works closely with residents to provide innovative, creative, social, educational and cultural programs.

There are 11 residence halls on campus, 4 out of those residence halls are listed down. The houses have space for approximately 1,200 students. Each building has its own unique character and maintains its rich history while also assuming the personality of its residents.  We are excited about our new residence hall that opened in 2008.
