Gender Inclusive Housing Student Life Housing and Residence Education supports the academic and social success of all its residents and is committed to providing spaces for students to feel at home. One of the ways this goal is acheived is by offering a wide range of on-campus housing options. In order to provide support for the needs of current and incoming students, gender-inclusive housing options are available. The number of gender-inclusive rooms on campus is based on student demand. Our Gender-Inclusive Environments are units clustered together within the building to promote community. There are currently 2 Gender-Inclusive Environments on campus. Paterson Hall: Housing Rate II and Houston House: Housing rate I. In addition to these environments, we offer a gender-inclusive living experience in individual rooms on floors across campus in many of our residence halls.
- Honors Housing Honors Housing works collaboratively with the Honors & Scholars to create a holistic “Honors experience.” Students, through active involvement, are encouraged to develop leadership, social and cultural skills to complement the learning objectives of their Honors curriculum. Honors housing is available in Bradley, Lincoln (freshman only) and Taylor.
