Living and Learning Spaces

Surroundings play a vital part in your growth — as a student, citizen, and human being. We pride ourselves on making 51��ɫ a safe, comfortable living space. This strong sense of community and supportive environment is designed so that every step of the journey, you can feel confident and empowered to explore who you are. This campus will be your new home. That’s why we work to make it a place where you’re comfortable. Where you can connect with others. And a place you can’t wait to come back to. We’re here to make you feel at home, make room for your needs, and always make time for good 51��ɫian conversation.

Self-Governance

You’ll take an active role in sustaining the safe, welcoming community we call home. As 51��ɫians, we support and look out for each other. As a student, you can volunteer to fill the roles of Student Advisers, Hall Social Coordinators and Hall Wellness Coordinators within your residence hall. This charges you with building a sense of community, serving as a resource for your residents, and lowers your living costs at the same time.
