Benefits of On Campus Housing

Winter Break Housing Information

Most undergraduates choose to live in one of the residence halls on campus. Aside from convenience to classes, library, computer labs, fitness center and events, on-campus living provides you with the opportunity to meet others more intimately and to participate in the many student-sponsored activities organized by the RAs, GRAs, and Student Activities. Our main objective is to create an atmosphere that encourages and supports your relationships with others; allows you to learn and develop; and explore the Nazareth community.

The mission of the Department of Residential Life is to provide an on-campus living experience that contributes to the students' academic growth and personal and social development.
