Freshman Residents
The Long Blue Line Starts Here
The W is committed to providing students with a comprehensive educational experience. We recognize the educational and social benefits students receive from residing on campus their first year, as compared to living off campus.
Ample research across the United States over the last 40 years has provided compelling evidence that students who live in university-provided housing perform better academically, and enjoy a higher degree of satisfaction with their college experience, than students who live off-campus or commute.
A student who lives in The W’s residence halls is more likely to:
- Take full advantage of campus resources.
- Be more involved in campus activities and educational programs.
- Complete more credit hours per semester.
- Achieve greater academic success.
- Complete their studies and attain their degree.
- Be more satisfied with the overall university experience.
