Academics
More than a place to sleep – A PLACE TO SUCCEED
Academic Support in the House!
Attending college will bring many new challenges – academic, social and financial – but did you know you can make your college experience more successful and rewarding simply by living on campus? In fact, studies show that students who live on campus report a higher degree of overall satisfaction with their college experience, have higher GPAs and are more likely to stay in school.
First-Year Residential Experience (FYRE)
University Housing collaborates with various academic departments to offer faculty-student interaction outside the classroom. We also partner with various University departments to bring academic, career development and student success workshops to your residence hall. For first-year students, FYRE Mentors provide an academic peer resource to help manage stressful times.

University Housing is committed to supporting its residents in their academic pursuits, and our residence halls offer convenient areas for study and learning.
