The University provides housing for students who wish to live on campus. The Office of Residence Life oversees the operation of all University-owned and operated housing facilities for students and coordinates all programs, services, and activities associated with these facilities. Most full-time undergraduate students live in the University's residence halls. All full-time first year and sophomore students, except veterans of at least two years' active military service, students who commute 50 miles or less from their parents' or legal guardians' homes, married students, or students 21 years of age or older, are required to live in campus housing. Residence halls vary in size and architectural style, and they provide double-room accommodations in most instances. A limited number of single rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
An obvious advantage of the residence halls is their proximity to classroom buildings, the library, cafeteria, Student Center, gymnasium, and health center. Students in the residence halls have access to television lounges, kitchen and laundry facilities, vending services and study rooms. Laptop computers are available for students to check out in each of the residence halls. All the residences are professionally staffed by Residence Hall Managers and supported by students who serve as Resident Assistants. Meals are provided at the Underwood Cafeteria in the Student Center.
The Office of Residence Life encourages personal development through in-hall programs, academic and social activities, and is responsible for ensuring that students have an atmosphere conducive to studying. Students are encouraged and supported to assume responsibilities that foster growth away from home. The Office of Residence Life ensures that the physical condition of the residence halls is maintained at an optimal level and that opportunities are provided for social interaction in the residence halls. Security of all residence halls is a priority. All exterior doors in the residence halls are locked 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week. Upon entering any residence hall on campus, all students and staff must have proper photo identification.
