As we move closer towards the beginning of our 2009-2010 academic year, the campus is active with preparation to welcome all of our new students. Below we have included residence hall specific driving directions to assist you in getting where you need to be.

Information Tent
For those students who have business transactions to complete prior to checking into your residence hall, a large information tent will be set up on Britton Plaza to accommodate you. We suggest that you get dropped off at the corner of High Street and College Street to take care of any unfinished business and have the driver of the vehicle continue to the traffic pattern of your residence hall. Once you have completed the unfinished business, you can join the driver of the vehicle at your residence hall location and check in
