Residence Halls

We have many residence halls that offer a variety of living options, including traditional and suite-style halls as well as apartment style housing. All rooms include streaming cable, utilities, laundry (on premises), and Wi-Fi at no additional cost. In the Goethals Apartments, laundry is coin operated and cable service is provided via a wired connection.

Incoming freshmen are assigned to a traditional or suite-style freshman residence hall to enhance the first-year experience. The Freshman Center works closely with these halls to bring unique opportunities to freshman residents. Upperclass residents have the opportunity to select from one of our suite-style residence halls. These halls, through programming and other initiatives, these halls provide environments that promote continued growth and independence.
