Are freshmen required to live on campus?
Freshmen are not required to live on campus, but it is strongly encouraged. NOTE: Freshmen MUST live with freshmen; Upper-class students must live with upper-class students. Freshmen are classified as students coming directly from high school. Freshmen not coming right out of high school are not considered “true freshmen,” and will be placed with someone more age appropriate.
• Freshmen are not required to live on campus; however, we highly suggest that you do. Living on campus acquaints you with new people from diverse backgrounds pursuing a variety of academic interests. Many of our residents acknowledge they made their best friends while living in the residence halls. Living on campus provides an environment for academic success as well as allowing students to develop leadership skills through the various residence hall organizations. It is also very convenient to live on campus where you are in close proximity to the library, faculty, classrooms, and computer labs.
