The two newest residence halls opened in 2006 to help meet the growing student demand for a 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week campus experience. The expansion of residential space on campus is part of the creation of a “learning village” where student interaction, creativity, and community building continues through the day and evening inside and outside of the classroom.
High Mountain East houses primarily freshmen, and is the hub for our Honors College. There are specific requirements for residing in this area. Our rooms are suite style, and are centered around common area lounges.
