The University believes that life in campus housing provides students with an essential part of the educational experience. Living in a residence hall/apartment affords students opportunities for involvement in learning communities, campus activities, shared responsibilities and community experiences.

The University has accommodations for approximately 1,500 students. Single students are housed in residence halls, generally two to a room, or Meacham Apartments and Hand Village, four to an apartment, under the supervision of professional and student staff. Honors housing is available and living-learning communities are located in buildings 300 and 400 of Hand Village and Meacham Building 100. One, two, and three bedroom apartments are available for married students, single parents with dependent children, or single students age 21 or older with no dependents.
