Residence Life and Housing

The on-campus residential 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.

Our residence halls are more than a place to sleep, they are your home. Here you will meet new people and be able to engage in a variety of new and exciting experiences. Other great advantages of living on campus is that you’ll be within walking distance of classes, club meetings, campus dining, bus stops, fitness centers, the health center, events and more.
