All the Residence Halls are located around the University Center and “The Quad,” prime spots for most school and community sponsored events!! You're sure to hear about what ever is going on first by living in the halls.
7. Meet New People
Living on campus allows you to meet new people everyday. Roam through the Res. Halls and chat with other students hanging out in the hall, lounge, or lobby! The Res. Halls are one of the first places you will make new lifelong friends that are only a room or hall away!
6. Activities
When living in the Res. Halls, you are the first to hear about any and all events that are held on or around campus! There are actually student staff members designated for each hall who will plan fun events that you can attend no matter your interest. And of course the best part, they are usually no more than a brief walk away from your room (and are for free!)!
5. FREE Utilities and Internet Access
NO electricity bill, NO water bill, NO garbage, sewer, telephone, or heating bills!! NO dial up! NO monthly bill! = SAVE LOTS OF MONEY!! What more could you ask?
4. No Need to Cook
Not a gourmet chef? Don’t worry; all your meals are prepared for you with the meal plan!! BUT, if you do get in the mood to be Betty Crocker just utilize the kitchens in each of the Res. Halls!!
3. Leadership Opportunities
So you want to get involved in college? Meet lots of people and build your skills for that resume? No need to look any farther! There are multiple opportunities in each hall to get involved in Hall Government, the Residence Housing Association, or apply to be a Resident Assistant. Anyone who lives in the Res. Halls can get involved in hall leadership opportunities, just ask!
2. Cool, Free Games and Equipment
Each Res. Hall has a front desk equipped with cool resources like the latest DVD's, board games, pool and ping pong equipment, kitchen cookware, and more! If you live in the hall you can check out this equipment at no cost and use it to make your free time even better!
AND THE NUMBER ONE BENEFIT OF LIVING ON CAMPUS IS…….
1. SLEEPING IN
