Student studying in suite style bedroom

Suite-style residences

Suite-style residences are apartments or townhouses with private or shared bedrooms and a kitchen and bathroom shared between suite mates. Meal plans are optional for suite-style residences because there is a kitchen available within each suite. 

Who typically lives here: Some first-year students, and most upper-year and graduate students. 

Why choose suite style: Suite-style residences are a great option for students wanting more privacy and independence, while still benefiting from the support of living on campus.
