J-term and Spring Housing Options
Living on campus is much more than a roof over your head; it's a lifestyle; it is being part of a community and an integral part of your university experience. Students can apply for J-term and Spring on-campus housing in the Office of Residential Life – University Center 161 or online at Traditional Hall Application.
We encourage students to explore on-campus options because of the unique benefits our communities provide. Our residence halls are within 5 minutes of your classrooms, the library, study groups, etc. and are designed and staffed to encourage connections and a sense of belonging.
