Incoming Students

Residence Life is committed to making every student’s residential living experience beneficial to their growth and development as well as their academic pursuits.

First-year students will have a chance to live and learn with other incoming students as they are immersed into college life together. Four residence halls are designated for first-year students: Aikens Hall, Hassinger Hall, Reed Hall and Smith Hall. Resident assistant staff members for these halls are trained to work with first-year students and especially prepared to assist with new student concerns.

New transfer students are housed in upperclassman halls across campus in available spaces.

Before receiving a housing assignment, new students have the opportunity to complete a housing questionnaire that aids Residence Life in choosing a roommate and residence hall.
