Live on a Beautiful Campus!

Almost 90 percent of first-year students and more than 60 percent of all Eastern students live on campus. Living close to classes, the library, computing resources, support services and a host of student clubs and activities is convenient; national data also shows that students who live on campus get better grades and graduate on time. Housing services are provided by the Office of Housing and Residential Life.

Students living on campus:
  • Get better grades and graduate on time
  • Have easy access to the library, computer labs and other services
  • Can walk to class and the dining hall
