Because we believe in the value and benefits of a residential education, all unmarried, first- and second-year full-time (12+ credit hours) students are required to live on campus and purchase a meal plan for the first two years of study. Exceptions are made for students who are at least 21, who are married or who live with their parents. 

There are many good reasons to live on campus. In national surveys, students who live on campus have a higher graduation rate than students who live off campus. Living on campus is also a great way to meet friends and get the most out of your college experience. In residence halls you have an opportunity to grow academically. You also have a great opportunity to grow spiritually, socially, physically and emotionally. For some students their living time in Residence Halls is the greatest part of their college experience.
