Community Living
What they do: Chances are you’ll spend less than 20 hours a week in the classroom—a lot less than you’ll spend where you live and eat. Turn here to find on- or off-campus housing, learn about dining plans, work through roommate problems, and more. Your ties to Community Living won’t end once you leave university housing. Our staff also provide resources for those students living off-campus.
