Graduate Housing
The Office of Residential Student Services provides housing for full-time graduate students. Our residence halls are communities where students can explore new ideas, meet other graduate students, engage in responsible
behavior, and build lifelong friendships, memories and connections while living independently.

Burch Hall
The Office of Residential Student Services houses graduate students on the sixth floor of Burch Hall. Burch Hall is the 10-month building and is open during winter break.
