With two gyms, 16 varsity sports for men and women, and 13 additional club and intramural sports, our athletic activities range from the serious to the recreational. And with more than 60 clubs and organizations, Greek life, student government and more, as well as events, movie nights and concerts hosted by the Office of Student Activities, there’s always something going on, both in and out of the classroom.

Twelve fully-equipped residence halls, as well as the new apartment-style, which features washers and dryers in each unit.
