New and returning graduate students can also live on campus.
Living Areas
Most resident students live in residence halls during their first and second years and then university-owned apartments and houses during their final years.

We have a traditional dining hall, a grab-and-go shop called Viking Market & Caf茅, and 1891 Bread Co.鈥攜our go-to place for coffee and baked goods.
