Statistics show that resident students:

• are more satisfied with their college experience

• have higher GPAs

• are more successful at completing their degrees

• have better social skills

• have greater contact with faculty

• feel like part of the campus community

Residence hall life adds a special dimension to your college experience.  Studies show campus residents average higher grades and are better adjusted socially.  As a liberal arts university, it is our goal to help you succeed in life, not just in class.
