Take a ride around town on the bus or Light Rail Transit. Prefer to drive yourself? There’s a parking spot for that. Wherever you are going, you'll find options to suit your lifestyle!
Getting around campus
One of the best things about residence is that you are within a 15-minute walk to classes and other buildings on campus. Discover new paths and even hidden tunnels through campus buildings as you find the fastest way to class. The campus map is the perfect companion as you move around campus.
If you choose to bike, there are bike racks throughout our residence buildings and on campus. Be sure to bring your lock!
