DSC Campus: Where it's @
Live in one of the residence halls and enjoy the freedom from increasing rent, high utility bills,preparing daily meals and commuting to campus. Being close to classrooms, on-campus life makes convenience an excellent advantage. Most of the campus buildings are within a five minute walk of your residence hall room. The many benefits of campus life, such as activities, student involvement, location to classes, and many others are designed to create the ultimate college experience. You will have numerous opportunities to become involved with diverse groups of people in the communities on campus. There are options tailored for everyone, including singles and families. All the services and amenities provided by DSC Resident Life exist for one reason - to encourage student success.
Living on campus can provide many new freedoms and personal choices. We encourage our students to use their time in the halls to participate in activities, hall councils, develop new friendships and learn more about themselves and the respect for others in their communities.
