What Students Say

“You can't beat living in East Campus. You're always within a few steps of everything [on campus], your closest friends are right there [living] with you, and you actually have a place for people to sit when they come to visit.”

"This is my favorite residence hall, especially if you live in a suite full of your friends. This hall reminds me of a real NYC apartment."

"Suite life is a lot of fun and the suites are incredibly clean and well air-conditioned. EC may be detached from other halls, but it becomes a community in itself. There are great fitness centers on the 8th and 16th floors of the high-rise section that gives EC another perk.”
