Students talk about their experience of living in the residence halls and the many opportunities available to engage outside of the classroom.  

"Living in the dorm is really nice ... We inspire each other, because we share something from different perspectives that we hadn't thought about until we met the person."
Ashley Arancibia (USA), Humanities, Arts, and Social Thought Program, 2019

Student Life Services & Resources
