Residence Life

College Housing Office
 
 
The goal of Residence Life, is to provide satisfactory accommodations for each student in a residence hall or apartment. These facilities provide many essential services and extras that will make college days enjoyable and memorable.
The Residence Life office, located in Student Center 154, is one of the busiest places on-campus. It maintains all records of the residential halls, apartments and their student occupants. This office is able to assist students with their campus living.
Each residence hall contains wireless Internet access, cable television access in each room, study areas, laundry facilities, lounges, recreation rooms and vending machines. For safety reasons, cooking in rooms is permitted only with microwave ovens of 800 watts or less. Portable refrigerators no larger than 4 cubic feet are permitted for snacks and soft drinks.
Before getting too settled, you may find it wise to check each hall’s posted rules and regulations or ask your resident director or resident assistants about them. When the need arises, don’t hesitate to ask for advice.
