Living on campus can be an amazing experience. Studies have shown a higher retention rate and better academic performance for students living on campus compared to those who don’t.

You have the opportunity to live with a dynamic group of students and staff while living in the halls. Being on campus also allows close access to classes and activities and keeps you in “the loop.” Living on campus you will find more to do, more to learn, more memories to make, and more life experiences to acquire. |

You'll be wearing summer clothes when you arrive for fall semester and when you leave at the end of spring semester, but be prepared for cold weather in between. If you'll be bringing all your clothes with you instead of having them shipped as the seasons change, be sure to pack some winter wear, especially if you want to enjoy outdoor recreational opportunities. Definitely plan on bringing all your electronic gear, but before buying a refrigerator, microwave or other appliances for your room, check with your roommate. He or she may already have them. See our What to Bring and What to Leave Home page for specifics. |
