On-campus students enjoy advantages that are not shared by students living off campus. Recently, students were asked what they enjoyed about living on campus. The majority stated the convenience – the nearness of classes and dining facilities, saving money on gas, and not having to worry about “fighting for parking.”
The next most common response was about their neighbors. Meeting and interacting with new people – from across the state, country, and around the world – was a contributing factor for students to stay on campus.
It is important that your student begins thinking about his or her options. Encourage your student to consider the advantages offered by living on campus and to complete their contract before the priority deadline of March 3!

Residence Hall Closings
Students in Academic Year Halls must vacate their room for Spring Break by 5:00 PM on Friday, March 15. These halls re-open at 12:00 Noon on Sunday, March 24.
Students may leave their belongings in their rooms but will not have access to them during the break. Your student should plan accordingly and pack all of their belongings needed for the week.
Spring Break provides the opportunity for your student to bring home unused items like winter clothing or possibly a bike they no longer want (or need) on campus.
