Great Reasons to Live on Campus……<br />
• Higher Grades‐ Students who live on campus achieve higher GPA’s than those who<br />
commute. This past year the average was 2.95 cumulative/campus‐wide.<br />
• Feeling Good About Yourself‐Students are more likely to have better positive self image,<br />
enhanced self confidence, public speaking ability and similar measures of self reliance.<br />
• Participation in extra curricular activities ‐ Potential employers love this!<br />
• Convenient‐ 6 minutes from anything on campus<br />
• No monthly bills‐ <strong>Housing</strong> and meals are paid for on a semester basis. Your internet,<br />
cable, laundry, furniture, wireless access, in house movies/information channel are all<br />
included and no gas costs for your car. It is all included in your <strong>Housing</strong>.<br />
• Safety‐ We have staff on duty 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. RA’s, RHD’s and Central<br />
Office staff are there for you. Public Safety officers roam campus housing daily.<br />
• Great College Experience‐ Live and Learn here. Get that “education outside the<br />
classroom.” Late night study groups, pizza at 1 am, late night talks, positive relationships<br />
with others all lead to a well rounded student.<br />
• No Need to Cook or Clean Up‐ Great meals are prepared for you so no time wasted<br />
shopping for groceries, cooking or cleaning dishes. Just like home.
