Starting college is a big step, and we’re here to make sure your transition is smooth, comfortable and exciting. As a first-year student, you're guaranteed an on-campus housing experience - designed to help you thrive both academically and socially.
Living on campus means you’re just steps away from classes, dining, events and new friends. You’ll be part of a vibrant community where support and connection are always close by.
Don’t forget about adding one of our meal plans to get the most out of your campus experience. With over 20 on-campus restaurants, including the world’s only all-you-care-to-eat Chick-fil-A in Couch Restaurants, you’re never far from your next snack or latte.
