Campus Housing Information for Students Arriving Fall 2008

University residence halls
Living in the residence halls is convenient for all University students, although about half of the rooms in each hall are occupied by first-year undergraduate students. Some halls are reserved for students who prefer a quiet atmosphere and certain floors are reserved for upperclass students. Photographs, rates, and floor plans are available online.
