Welcome to the Office of Residence Life
We are thrilled to have you as part of our vibrant campus community, where your home away from home is more than just a place to sleep—it’s a place to learn, grow, and connect. Living on campus is an integral part of your college experience, and our mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment that supports your academic and personal success. Our residence halls are designed to foster a sense of community, where lifelong friendships are made and memories are created.
The Office of Residence Life is here to support you every step of the way. From housing assignments and roommate matching to residential programming and conflict resolution, our team is dedicated to ensuring that your time in campus housing is positive and fulfilling. We strive to create a living environment that is comfortable, welcoming, and conducive to both study and relaxation.
We encourage you to get involved in residence life activities, take advantage of our resources, and make the most of your on-campus living experience. Whether you’re a first-year student or a returning resident, we are here to help you navigate any challenges and celebrate your successes. Please explore our webpage to find important information about housing policies, move-in details, community standards, and ways to connect with your Resident Advisors (RAs) and Residence Life staff. If you have any questions or need assistance, do not hesitate to reach out to us—we are here for you!
