Where will I live?


What is it like to live on campus?

Living on campus, especially as an incoming freshman, can be one of the most rewarding experiences you will have at Eastern. You will develop friendships and relationships that will last a lifetime. Studies show that students who live in the residence halls do better academically, meet people more quickly, are more involved in campus activities and, most importantly, are more likely to graduate from college than students living off campus. For these and many other reasons, all freshmen are required to live in the residence halls.
