Live in the heart of it all! Living in University Housing is an important and meaningful part of the college experience. It is a time for you to explore and try new things, meet new people, learn about yourself and the world around you. It offers a chance to develop life skills that go far beyond the classroom.
Over 80% of incoming freshmen, plus many returning students choose to live in University Housing. It makes it easier to get to class, meet new people, get involved with clubs and take advantage of all of the resources offered on campus. You don’t have to worry about commuting in bad weather or finding parking. There are also Resident Advisors to support the transition to college. When you live in the center of it all, there is more time to focus on why you’re here.

UC’s energetic environment can be attributed to the dynamic layout of our campus and the charismatic, diverse community that lives here. Outside of classes, there is much fun to have and many activities to participate in. The variety of student organizations, food, and entertainment encourages students to get involved, find their passions, and contribute to the campus ecosystem.
Depending on your interests, you may prefer spending free time working out and relaxing at the Campus Recreation Center. Here, students love taking classes, running on the track, and mindlessly floating down the lazy river.
Or maybe you’ve always been curious about astronomy and want to learn more about the stars, you can join the astronomy club showcased at the student organization fair. No matter what you love or want to explore, you are encouraged to discover your passions and take advantage of all that life on campus has to offer.
Getting involved doesn’t always equate to joining a club or student government; you may prefer to check out your hall government or working as a desk assistant in your community. Getting involved can also be as simple as rounding up a group of friends for a kickball game on Sigma Sigma Commons or hanging out in the hammock forest with fellow enthusiasts.
Being a Bearcat doesn’t mean you need to fit a specific mold; it means being authentic to who you are, supported by a community that pushes you to be your best.
