Parents & Families

Living on campus is, for many of our students, their first time away from their family home.  This independence offers an important learning experience for Hoyas.  We encourage parents and family members to helps students make this transition that is so important to their future life and learning.

Meet The Staff

Residence Life is proud of our diverse and talented staff, many of whom live on campus to better help our residents.  We hope parents and family members will encourage students to contact our professional staff if they need our support.

What to Expect When Your Hoya Lives On Campus

Every Hoya has a different experience living on campus, but it's helpful to know about the environment what's typical and expected on the Hilltop. 

About Our Communities

Each community on campus maintains their own website to keep residents posted about leadership and activities in the building.  We encourage you to visit these websites for updates about what's going on in your student's community.

About Our Residences

The Office of Housing Services maintains information on the residence halls and apartments where students live on campus.  Visit their website to learn more about the space your student calls home.

Roommates

Learning to live with a roommate (or apartment-mates) is an important experience for all our students.  While this experience usually goes smoothly, we also know that it can be a transition for many of our residents.  When they contact family for help, visit our resources on helping your student manage this important developmental moment.
