HOUSING APPLICATION
You’ve done your homework and know living on campus is a great value. National research shows students who live on campus tend to have higher GPAs and persist to graduation at higher rates than their peers. Students who plan to live on campus must complete a Housing and Dining contract to get a room assignment.
