Life on Campus

Live in the center of all the action! Life on-campus brings a community atmosphere right to your front door. Whether you're hosting a study session, playing basketball or watching a movie on your hall's big screen TV, life on campus offers something for everyone!

Students walking in hallway

Have fun making your living space your own! The floor you live on becomes its own community, and your neighbors are just two steps away. Included in every room are free bed lofts, dressers, closets, desks and desk chairs for both you and your roomie!

Band playing on stage

Our high-speed wireless and dorm room Ethernet connections, 24-hour residence hall computer labs (just like this one!), and access to labs all over campus ensure that you will never feel a broken link to the world of technology.

Students

The residence hall front desk acts as a 24-hour convenience store for students. Here you can check out vacuum cleaners, keys to the kitchen, pots and pans, sporting equipment, board games or DVDs. And of course there's food for those late night pizza cravings!

Students with clothes in arms

Worried you'll have to haul a fridge up the stairs at the same time as the rest of campus? Don't fret. Freshmen have their very own move-in day before everyone else arrives, and fellow Blugolds, sporting bright yellow shirts, are there to help!

Students

Let the music play! Horan Hall, the all male dorm on campus, sits at the top of the hill serving as a favorite spot for campus concerts, pig roasts, and cook outs. But don't let these guys have all the fun! You can enjoy bonfires, movie nights and outdoor games across campus.

Students

There's no need to go searching for laundry quarters in-between your futon cushions! Use your Blugold ID card instead as you learn to do your laundry in the comfort of your own residence hall. Added bonus? Dryers are free!
