Why Live at SSU?

The best way to experience college is by living on campus. As a Seawolf, you’ll have the change to immerse yourself in campus life, building lifelong friendships, attending events, joining clubs and organizations, and step outside your comfort zone to broaden your horizons. Living on campus allows you to shape your own college journey, gain independence, and create once-in-a-lifetime memories. You’ll find classmates to study with, connect with students who share your interests, and build a Seawolf family that lasts well beyond graduation.

Top Reasons To Live On Campus

Convenience

Wake up minutes from classes, dining, the library, the Recreation Center, and campus events. Living on campus means less commuting and more time for what really matters, including studying, relaxing, and getting involved.
 

Built-In Community

Campus housing makes it easy to form friendships and feel connected. From roommates to residential village events, you’ll find a supportive community that helps you feel at home from day one.

Designed for Student Success

Students who live on campus tend to earn higher GPAs, stay more engaged, and take advantage of academic resources. With study spaces, tutoring, and faculty support close by, help is always within reach.

Support Close at Hand

With on-campus quiet study spaces, academic resources like the Learning and Academic Resource Center (LARC), and easy access to tutoring and faculty, living on campus creates an environment designed to support your success inside and outside the classroom.

Safety & Peace of Mind

On-site Residential Education and Campus Housing staff, Police, and campus safety services provide reassurance for students and families alike, so you can focus on your college experience.

Exceptional Value

On-campus living includes furnished spaces, utilities, Wi-Fi, and support services, all in one bill. When you factor in the true cost of off-campus living, campus housing is often more affordable.
