It Takes A Village
When you live on campus, you are immersed in the college experience. You have a village of professional staff and peer mentors to support your professional and personal goals and offer advice whenever you need it. You are surrounded by a community of students where your roommates and neighbors become study partners and your study partners become lifelong friends.
