I wake up nearly an hour earlier because of all of the hassle of packing my lunch, driving to campus, getting a good parking spot, and so many more things. The convenience of living on campus is second to none.

So many things I overlooked moving off campus – fast maintenance, great WiFi, and a short walk to my classes.

When I moved off campus I thought my life was going to be a lot easier, but I was very wrong. The convenience of living on campus is second to none.

WE TAKE CARE OF THE TOUGH STUFF

By living on campus, maintenance is always on call, we help with roommate issues, and there's 24-hour security keeping you safe. Better yet, there's no awkward landlord negotiations to make, and no monthly bills cluttering your mind. Since you won't be stressing about your apartment, you can focus more on the stuff that matters to you.

  • Sanitization
  • No Landlord

CUT THE COMMUTE & HAVE MORE TIME FOR YOU

Living on campus lets you spend more time doing what you want to do and less time doing things like commuting or cooking. With all that extra time, hit up some valuable academic resources nearby.

  • Residence halls close to academic buildings
  • Study rooms in your hall for maximum focus
  • Meal plan options with quick and delicious food
  • Free bus transportation to get around campus and Lincoln
  • No need to deal with commuter or off-site parking

Endless Options

By living on campus, you get to decide what you want to do. Want a chill night in? You've got it. Want to be close enough to the Rec that you can squeeze in a workout during your study break? You've got that, too. With everything so close, there are endless options for how your night on campus could go.

  • Close to downtown Lincoln
  • Just a walk away from campus activities like Husker games, campus night life and more
  • Nearby trails for running, biking, rollerskating or long boarding
