How To Use The Student Housing Website
The Student Housing website is organized into several main categories, which are accessible via the primary (horizontal) menu at the top of every web page. A unique category menu is located in the left column of most pages, based upon the category of the page. For example, the menu at the left of this page is the "Prospective Residents" menu: it lists the pages that are organized under the prospective residents category, including the Apply for Housing and Residence Hall Tours information.
Many categories are designed to educate prospective students about their housing options, while others support current residents, and others still are written with staff and faculty and the general community in mind. However, every section will inform potential residents about Student Housing's various facilities and programs, so consider reviewing the various sections while deciding whether or not to live on campus.
