Long Term Housing Options
For students seeking longer-term housing, the University has worked with College Pads to assemble a portal for housing options near all of our campuses.
Housing On Campus
On campus, we provide housing through our Housing and Residential Education program. It's easy to apply for and offers a variety of options in a safe and very student friendly environment. Plus, you can use financial aid to help pay for housing on campus.
