What our residents are saying

My name is Elizabeth, also known as Eliza (Ee-lie-za) 🤪, and my favorite part about living on campus is the wide diversity of culture and the relationships I’ve made. If it wasn’t for living in McMahon my freshman year and building community, I would’ve never met the people who are now my closest friends.

Eliza, Sophomore

I really like the private bathrooms, the chalkboards, and the new buildings. I’m living on campus next year because it’s really convenient.

Eric, Freshman

My favorite part about living on campus is the rich diversity. I created strong connections and bonds with my floor mates and gained a sense of community.
