Living on Campus

Student Housing creates communities that promote academic success, safety and wellness, personal development and a sense of belonging in the campus community.

Students who live on campus enjoy the benefits of community programming, easy access to campus resources, and live-on staff who provide support and guidance.

Housing Administrative Services (HAS)

is located in Middle Earth Towers at Laurelin Hall, Suite 2301. 2020–21 Housing Occupancy

For the 2020–21 academic year, Student Housing will limit occupancy in undergraduate housing in order to promote physical distancing.

As a result, space in campus housing will be more limited than previous years, and housing guarantees for first-year and transfer students will be suspended. Housing offers will be made as long as spaces remain available.

Students who are unable to secure oncampus housing are encouraged to explore the Anteater Housing Network for local off-campus housing listings.
