Student Experience
In Student Experience, we create dynamic environments outside the classroom that support all students in learning, building community, and developing a sense of belonging. Our goal is to assist students in achieving their goals and navigating change, transition, and development from before they arrive on campus until they graduate.

Housing
Living on campus provides you with the academic support, personal development and social opportunities that are a valuable part of the university experience. With a mix of traditional, apartment, suite and townhouse-style residences it'll be hard to decide which is the best!
