Residence Halls


Residence Halls

Our residence halls are more than places to sleep—they are homes where students live, learn, connect, and build community. While “dorm” or “dormitory” is commonly used to describe university housing, we use the term residence hall to reflect the broader experience of living on campus.

Each residence hall is supported by a full-time Residence Life Coordinator (RLC) who lives on campus and works closely with a team of Resident Assistants (RAs). Together, they support students’ residential experience, foster a sense of belonging, and help create welcoming and inclusive communities.

Phase 2 Residential Communities

The Phase 2 residential community includes nine undergraduate and graduate residence buildings, with a range of spaces designed to support both residential life and student engagement. In addition to student rooms, the community includes study spaces, social lounges, kitchenettes, classrooms, and multipurpose spaces.

Undergraduate students live across eight residence halls organized into four residential courtyards. Each courtyard is home to approximately 500 students and is supported by an RLC and a team of RAs. Courtyards also host Living-Learning Communities (LLCs) that bring together students with shared academic, professional, or personal interests, with many communities supported by a Faculty-in-Residence.

Undergraduate residence halls primarily feature traditional-style rooms, with two students sharing a room and community bathrooms located on each floor. Bathrooms include individual toilets and private shower spaces.

Graduate students live in designated graduate housing, including an apartment-style residence and the existing graduate residence hall. Apartment-style units typically include four single bedrooms, two toilets, two showers, a kitchenette, and a shared living room, providing students with a more independent residential experience.
