Aggies have a wide range of resources that make the campus feel like home, from academic support to a wide range of amenities. According to a University of Connecticut report, first-year students who lived on campus were 21 percent more likely to return for their second year than those who lived off campus.
Academic Support at your Doorstep
Aggies living on campus never have to go far for academic assistance. Community Learning Centers (CLC) provide computer labs, printers, tutoring resources and quiet study areas. Many of these are open 24/7. Students can also connect with Academic Peer Mentors (APMs) who offer guidance in study skills, time management and strategies for academic success. Large events like Study Spectaculars give students a structured time and stress-reducing space to prepare for finals.
Support for Both Body and Mind
Aggie well-being is a top priority throughout the year. Through Residential Support Services, students can get in contact with mental health resources, academic coaching and spiritual wellness assistance. Programs such as the Wellness Ambassadors provide peer-led outreach on health and well-being. Residence staff host events like Dessert with the Dean and Dinner with a Professor.
Building Community
Living Learning Communities (LLCs) allow students with shared academic or personal interests to live together and build relationships through programs and events. All residents are held to the standard and guidelines in the Resident Handbook to ensure a safe and respectful environment.
The Aggie Advantage
All resources and amenities, like study centers and mental health resources or professor dinners and peer mentors, are designed to support the whole student. For Aggies, these programs and services turn residence halls into communities where learning, wellness and friendships come together to make the best home away from home.
