Housing Spotlight

The College Houses are vibrant, close-knit communities where undergraduates can feel at home while staying connected to the academic heartbeat of the University. They’re designed to support students both personally and academically, creating a space where it's easy to build friendships, find guidance, and grow into leadership roles. In addition to the great communities in each of our College Houses, our buildings also have operational amenities to support your residential experience, including:

• An information desk with 24-hour security in the lobby
• Electronic locks on the doors to your building, room, and bedroom
• Laundry facilities included in your housing charge
• Free Wi-Fi and cable TV access

Renter's Insurance

Renter's Insurance helps protect you from the cost of replacing your personal belongings in the event of a covered incident. We encourage residents to review any existing coverage, e.g., through family homeowner policies. You may explore having a rental insurance rider added to an existing policy, or explore renter's insurance products through any reputable insurance company. More information can be found on Residential Services website.

Task List

When logging into Campus Express, a task list will populate for your student. These items -- including required and recommended tasks -- help make the arrival process to campus that much easier! Your student can easily share their list via email -- encourage them to send it to you so you can stay informed.
