Reasons to live on campus

• It is convenient. Residents don't have to fight traffic, hunt for parking spaces before class, or spend a lot of money on gas.

• A great deal of learning takes place outside the classroom. Studies show that students who live in residence halls tend to make better grades, are more likely to persist in their education, and are more likely to graduate in a timely manner.

• Residents manage their time better.

• Residents tend to be more satisfied with their undergraduate experience than commuters.

• Residents are more involved with campus life, and have a greater commitment to the institution.

• Residents make friends more quickly.

• Convenient access to the Downtown Houston Theater District, home to world class symphony, theater, opera, and ballet companies, and the Houston Museum District, one of the largest cultural districts in the country.
