Benefits to living on campus
Living on campus will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your college life. At Morris, more than 90 percent of first-year students choose to live on campus. And almost half of the entire student population lives on campus each year.
Here are just a few reasons why Morris students enjoy being part of our campus residential communities. When you live on campus you are:
- Close to campus amenities and classes
- Part of a committed academic community
- Exposed to many campus and community involvement opportunities
- Part of exciting social activities and educational programming initiatives
- Able to build lifelong friendships
Studies show that students who live on campus are more likely to get involved and learn valuable social, educational and leadership skills. Involvement helps create a feeling of ownership and belonging. As a result, students who live on campus typically achieve higher grade point averages than their off-campus peers and are 12 percent more likely to graduate from college than other students.
