Residential Life & Learning

Our office oversees all aspects of residential living, including on- and off-campus housing, roommate selection and Fraternity and Sorority Life. In addition, our student and professional staff collaborate with campus partners to create educational and social programming that foster a community of inclusivity, belonging, and learning.

Students share their experiences living on campus.

Residential Support

The Office of Residential Life & Learning (ORLL) team supports students from move-in day and every step of the way—advising on all aspects of on- and off-campus living and sharing leadership opportunities. ORLL programs foster inclusive communities and connect students with resources to navigate transition, develop self-awareness, and become engaged community members.
