Campus Housing is a vital part of the student experience, providing students with the opportunity to learn and grow in community. Students who live on-campus are more likely to complete a degree program, have higher GPAs and be more active in the life of their college communities.
College students have a variety of campus housing options including single or shared rooms, suites with private bedrooms and bathrooms, and apartment style units. Students are also provided with access to dining halls that offer a variety of options that can meet many dietary needs, student health centers and other campus services. Students also have the opportunity to join various social, academic, cultural and athletic clubs that can help them form a sense of community on campus.
Living on a United States college campus can be a new and exciting experience for some students. To help with the transition, many colleges require first-year students to live in campus housing.
Many universities also offer living-learning communities that allow students to live in the same residence hall with peers who have similar academic interests, identities or passions. In addition to providing a community of like-minded peers, living-learning communities have been shown to increase students’ motivation to attend class and use academic support services.
