Campus Life

As a residential campus, everything from student activities to housing arrangements have been designed to foster and support the intimacy and diversity you'll find in our community. No matter what your interests are, you'll make friends and have a lot of fun. Most of all, you'll feel like you belong.

Please Note: Campus life forms are made available on your Pre-Arrival Tracker at different times before you arrive on campus. You will receive an email whenever new forms are available.

Frequently Asked Questions
