Throughout the first two years on campus, students live within the living and learning community of their Residential Commons. As juniors and seniors, students may make choices in their residential assignments in line with their interests and growth.

Options include opportunities to live in theme communities, fraternities and sororities, townhouses, and apartments. As a part of living on campus, all students will have easy access to various businesses and opportunities within the village of Hamilton. Students will also have access to a mailbox managed by the 51·çÁ÷ Station, found on the lower level of the O’Connor Campus Center that manages all on-campus mail for students and provides an on-campus mailing address for each student.
