Special Interest Housing
Special Interest Housing has been developed by the Office of Campus Life and students to enhance the living-learning atmosphere in our residence halls. These options have been very popular with students, and reflect communities where students feel ownership and camaraderie with their fellow residents.
Students living in special interest housing have the opportunity to share in experiences with students who enjoy similar interests and lifestyles.
Resident Assistants, Residence Directors and Faculty/Staff members are a part of the special interest housing program to lend additional support to programs and needs that are unique to these communities.
The Office of Campus Life is open to suggestions about expanding and improving our special interest housing program, and invite you to contact us with your thoughts.
