Residence Halls

The residence halls house the majority of our first year students and offer a variety of floor plans. Close to dining centers and academic buildings, students are able to connect to campus resources. Limited space may be available for returning students at GSP and in some special interest communities.

Apartment Living

Designated primarily for upper-class students, transfers and non-traditional students, apartments offer privacy and independence while retaining the advantage of on-campus living. Stouffer Place apartments will house first-year students for the 2025-2026 academic year and not be an eligible selection for upper-class students.

Scholarship Halls

Our most affordable on-campus housing, residents participate in a cooperative living environment in exchange for a reduced housing rate. First-year students interested in living in a scholarship hall, submit your Scholarship Hall application by March 1, 2025 for priority review. Offers to live in a scholarship hall are based on a short answer essay, GPA, test scores, and financial need.
