Housing and Residence Life

Suite-style units consist of two rooms per suite with a shared bathroom joining them, reserved for freshmen. Each room houses two residents, who share a double fully furnished room with a sink. The bathroom consists of a shower and toilet stall. Suite-style is a great way to form a sense of community and relationships with other residents. This building is located in the North Campus Neighborhood near The Dish, Fresh Food Co., and Mackinac Hall, where most freshmen have classes.
