If you’re an incoming first-year or off-campus student, you might be asking: Why Live On Campus?

Living on campus means renovated residence halls, included utlities and wi-fi, access to lounges and facilities with your friends, a 10-minute walk to class, and a hassle-free contract that aligns with the school calendar.

Make sure your mail is taken care of before you move you this week! 💌

• Please check your mailbox, package boxes, and front desk for any packages and mail before moving out.

• Housing and Residence Life does not forward mail.

• You must change your mailing address via USPS for mail to be forwarded to your home address over the summer.

• Update your addresses with all your memberships, subscriptions, or services–only USPS forwards mail and packages. Amazon destroys packages that are undeliverable. All other providers (FedEx, UPS, DHL) will only return to the sender.
