Student Housing
Overview
One of the University’s primary missions is to provide a great residential experience while educating and fostering students to achieve academic and personal growth.
We encourage all students without dependents to live on campus so they may receive maximum benefit from university life.
The following students may live off-campus:
- students 22 years of age or older
- married students
- graduate students
- students with dependents
- undergraduate students younger than 22 years of age who have successfully petitioned the Department of Student Life
On-campus housing
Every student residence is designed to provide a comfortable environment for study and rest. Individual rooms have telephone and Internet connections as well as air conditioning. Each residence hall provides washer/dryer service and filtered drinking water, and many have exercise and recreation rooms.
To encourage maximum academic focus and comfort for every student, our residence halls are all single-gender facilities. Students are not allowed in the opposite gender's residence halls.
Every housing unit has a Resident Advisor (RA) who helps new students become familiar with campus life and is skilled to assist with personal questions and concerns.
Our students also have the opportunity to live in new campus housing designed in accordance with principles of ancient Vedic architecture. This on-campus housing offers a private bathroom, in addition to a living room, a kitchen area, a clothes washer and a clothes dryer shared by all eight residents. At times, there is a waiting list for this housing. These rooms cost an additional $750 per semester beyond the regular room charges.
