Residence Life & Housing

Your First Address Probably Isn't Your Last

Fourteen residence halls, twenty program houses, language suites, charter houses, and apartments. Each comes with its own character, and most students end up living in more than one over four years. Different rhythms in each, the same depth of community across all of them.
