Axe ’Em, Jacks!
Did you graduate high school within the past year? On-campus housing is required for first-year, first-time students.
Living on campus offers a range of benefits that significantly enhance your first year academic experience and personal development. Easy access to classes, academic resources and community support are only examples of the ways in which campus living helps students adjust in their first year out of high school.

Consider joining a Residential Learning Community — there's no extra cost!
These close-knit communities allow Lumberjacks with similar interests to live and learn together. Each RLC offers specific academic and social events that connect you with peers and faculty members, letting you explore your major or interest on a deeper level.
RLCs are located in a specific wing within a designated residence hall; therefore, space in RLCs is limited. Explore these options early and indicate your interest on your housing application.
RLCs for first-year students:
- Aviation
- Fine Arts
- Future Teachers
- Generation Jacks
- Honors (also open to non-first-year students)
Students enrolled in the Micky Elliott College of Fine Arts or expressly interested in studio art, theatre, dance or music, including members of the Lumberjack Marching Band, regardless of major are welcome in this Residential Learning Community. This community is located in an exclusive special-interest hall with common space for gathering, performance and display opportunities.
