Apartment Villages
Our two apartment areas offer housing to returning students in three-, four-, and five-person apartments. Each fully furnished apartment has an appropriately equipped kitchen, common space and shared bathroom facilities. Students living in the apartments are not required to be on a meal plan, but may choose from various options available.
The apartment areas are supervised by an Area Coordinator (AC). Each neighborhood in our villages has a Community Assistant (CA).
