Residence Life and Housing

The residence life experience is an important part of your college journey, and we are proud of the unique and supportive environment cultivated by the students of our lakeshore campus.

Residence Halls are more than a place to sleep, it’s your home—meet new people, engage in the experiences, take advantage of the opportunities around you. Living on campus you’ll be within walking distance of classes, club meetings, dining, bus stops, fitness centers, the health center, events and more.
