residential and academic programs. This common bond is you!

classes. (You will be receiving specific information regarding your classes during the spring). This means you are taking the same variation
of classes as your apartment-mates and the other people on your floor. You can have a similar schedule as a dozen or more people on your

provide study sessions to assist in your academic success and fun activities to give you a mental break from hitting the books. It's a
great way to learn and to meet people.
