Housing Options
Your room is more than just a place to lay your head; it's a place to study, hang out with friends, and make memories that will last a lifetime. All first-year students are housed in our traditional residence halls: Cullen Daniel, Margaret Daniel, and New Men's. Living in a close-knit community like this teaches you more than you can imagine about cooperating with other people, and that's an important part of your preparation for the future. Our upperclassmen students have a host of housing suite-style residence halls and apartments to choose from as well. View our housing options by clicking on the drop-down tabs below.
