Housing Options for Dependents and Veterans
Military Dependents
Dependents of military personnel face unique issues and circumstances when they go to college. This living-learning community (LLC) is offered to help those students achieve success during their first year of college. Rooms will be reserved in Mary Burke Hall, which is a co-ed hall with separate floors for men and women. The Office of Veteran and Military Affairs offers support and guidance to military dependents and serves as the sponsor for this program. Special events including social events and informative discussions will be held in the hall to address issues unique to students from military families. In addition, students in this program will be registered for the same EN 101 or 103 sections as a group so that they can study together in the residence hall and attend class events together. A one-credit freshman seminar class, FLC 101, will also be scheduled for students in this community.
This hall is open during the summer and during University breaks.
