Moving away from home and onto campus is a big step. Visiting students ask me questions like, "Where will I put all my stuff?" and "What if I don't like my roommate?" I tell then, "Don't worry. Living on campus is one of the best parts about going to college." And the residence hall staff is here to help you with any problems that may come up.

ISU even offers a great program for first year students living on campus. It's called the First-Year Program, and it is designed to smooth the transition for incoming students.

The truth is, living in the residence halls makes college a whole lot easier. It's convenient -- no more than a 10-minute walk to all your classes. And you will be even closer to places that will be important to you, like Hulman Student Union, the Student Computing Complex and of course, the bookstore.

The Statesman and the IQ magazine, both student-run publications, are two good ways to keep up with everything going on around campus.

The best part of residence hall life is that you make more friends than you can count! But the dorms also offer plenty of creature comforts. You will have lounges, laundry facilities, and cafeterias in each residence hall. A reception desk will deliver your mail. You'll have in-room access to the University computer network and the Internet. There are also television and telephone hookups in each room.

Living on-campus means more than just having a room in the residence halls. The whole campus becomes your home. Our beautiful and safe campus is full of places to explore and activities to enjoy. It will be your home during your ISU years.
