From a student’s perspective . . . Living on campus: it’s a college thing!

Setting up your room freshman year – cooking with your roommates – new

neighbors turning into friends – going to the beach after class – late night study

sessions – coffee breaks at the cyber café – sunbathing in the courtyard – using

your own laundry machines in your apartment – playing ultimate Frisbee in front

of the library – care packages from home – late night chats with roommates

…that’s life in Palmetto Village, our on-campus apartments.

From a parent’s perspective . . .

By living on campus, your student will budget time more effectively since

classes, the library, and faculty offices are just a short walk away. It’s easier to

participate in extracurricular activities and build friendships. Research indicates

that residential students are more successful in their college careers and more

likely to complete their degrees in a timely manner. Palmetto Village offers the

freedom of apartment living and the safety of university security 24/7.
