Sending your son or daughter away
to college can be a stressful experience. Lots of memories go through
our minds as we help them shop for necessities, room decorations and
fun items. And, there is all of the paperwork that must be completed
to apply to the university, apply for housing, apply for financial
aid, apply for scholarships, apply for honors programs and then wait
for responses. To help you prepare and assist your child, we publish
a parent newsletter in October and February of each year. In addition
to mailing the newsletter to parents, the newsletter will be available
on our web site.
Living on-campus simplifies college life by consolidating the majority of living expenses into one package. The assigned room and selected meal plan fee includes a furnished room (majority of rooms are double occupancy), paid utilities (electricity, gas, water, garbage, and sewer), individual license agreement (resident is responsible only for their room and meal plan fees – no need to collect money from roommate(s) or suitemate(s), Public Safety Assistants patrol every night and an electronic key card system for bedroom and exterior doors. During the academic year we have 24 hours/7 days professional and live-in on-call staff, Atrium Customer Service Desk, and University Police response. |
