Living On Campus

"Some first-year students worry about living in our traditional dorms. I worried about it, too!  But I quickly discovered the benefits. Dorms like Ellis, Gardner, and Pixley are full of first-year students, making it so much easier to meet new people and build friendships right away. The close-knit community and social atmosphere really help you feel at home from the start!"

- Ellie Ford '28 

Dorms

Studies show that dorm living fosters connection, understanding, and confidence. You’ll share a room with 1-2 roommates and access shared-living spaces (kitchenette, common lounges, bathrooms) with your dorm mates. This style housing is ideal for first-year students since it’s designed to help you build lifelong friendships.

Suites

Suites contain two bedrooms and a shared bathroom for groups of friends to make their own.  This option works well for sophomores and juniors who are engaged on campus.
