Axe ’Em, Jacks!
It’s Lumberjack time
Living on campus will allow you to experience college life while being surrounded by an instant network of friends. All first-year students live in the First Year Commons and will be a first-year student, except for a few community assistants to provide help when you need it. Transfer students will live in upperclass residence halls.

Get involved
Living on campus means that you’re already involved in student life – you’re living it all day, every day. But there are many other opportunities to connect residence hall living with your personal interests.

Lumberjack meal plans
Lumberjacks fuel their bodies and brains at two dining halls and several retail restaurants on campus. Meal plans are required for everyone living on campus (unless you live in Lumberjack Village Building 3). These plans range from 14 meals a week to unlimited passes, including Dining Dollars for on-campus restaurants like Chick-fil-A or Panda Express.
