Snoeyenbos Hall resident
“Living on campus has allowed me to take full advantage of on campus facilities and events. The RAs put on super fun events for each building, which has helped me meet new people. You are within walking distance of every building on campus, which makes traveling very easy. Living in Snoeyenbos, you get to take advantage of the study rooms in case you need a quiet place to get your work done.”

Contact Residence Life
I take a lot of pride in making sure that our residence halls are a place where everyone feels comfortable, safe and welcome. While the residence halls are a place to study and sleep, they are also a place to make friends, have fun and create the memories that you will laugh about for the rest of your life. I love providing the backdrop for those memories.
