RESIDENT Q&A

ELIJAH MIZELL MAJOR: ECONOMICS, ’15 COMMUNITY: THE TOWERS AT KNIGHTS PLAZA

Favorite thing about living on campus: It is so convenient to live at The Towers. The events at the UCF Arena are so close, Knightro’s is across the street for a bite to eat, and classes are just a short walk away.

Favorite on-campus memory: The RAs in The Towers hosted a retro video game night complete with old gaming systems— everyone was reliving their childhood in that moment.

Advice to new residents: Take advantage of RA events. They help you get to know people on your floor, and you’ll make new friends along the way.

IT’S MORE THAN A PLACE TO LEARN; IT’S A PLACE TO

LIVE

Living on campus puts you in the middle of all the action.

You can cheer on the Knights on game day, grab a bite to eat a short walk from your apartment or catch a concert at the UCF Arena. Plus, you’re closer to what’s happening with any of our 400-plus student organizations.
