Feeling at Home on Campus
Students live on campus for their first two years, but most live off campus after that. Because so many people commute, we’ve designed community spaces with commuters in mind.
The Commuter Link is a community and resource space for all commuter students. The space includes a kitchenette, snack bar and study area with printers. Spending time in the Commuter Link is a great way to build community and connect with other students!
You can also eat, store items and even shower on campus. Learn more about meal plans, lockers and showers.
