Residence Life

Residence Life helps make UPIKE your home away from home. Living and learning happen day and night—much of it in and around our residential housing communities. Our Residence Life staff guides and supports you and provides an on-campus living experience that is comfortable, happy and healthy. Our residential environments are within a short walk of our academic buildings and feature common areas to build community. Want to live with students who share your interests? Apply for our Honors Community or Affinity Housing. There’s a range of options on campus so that you can find the right fit.
