Benefits of On-Campus Living

Safety

On-campus security is paramount to an effective learning environment and students are protected by surveillance cameras, a staff of Resident Assistants, and a security team that is on duty 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

  • Instructors are close by for consultation, questions, and mentorship.
  • Academic Enhancement Center, Career Services, and other services are easily accessible

Convenience

  • All STU residence halls are a short distance to campus spots, The Bobcat Cafe, Library, Fitness Center, Mac Lab, Rathskellar, Mast Schooner Pub, campus convenience store, the Chapel of St. Anthony, and classes. Residents enjoy the convenience of walking to classes and campus events.
  • Residents can take a nap in between classes or practice without having to deal with the Miami traffic

Easy and Affordable
