First-year and Sophomore Housing

All first-years and sophomores live together in residence halls near your classes and dining options. During your first two years at ��ͷ��, you’re placed in a Residential Commons — your placement is tied to your first-semester FSEM class, so you'll get to live and learn with students who share your interests. As the foundation of your residential experience, the Residential Commons connects you to new friends, support systems, and activities that usually draw a crowd.

Junior and Senior Housing

From apartment and townhouse-style living to shared houses, the University offers a variety of independent housing options to students in their junior and senior years. Juniors and seniors may also join a community living experience through a fraternity, sorority, or theme house where students who share a common interest live together, or choose to live in a traditional residence hall.

As part of the Third-Century Plan, ��ͷ�� is investing in the revitalization of lower campus housing, which may impact access to specific houses as we renovate.
