I think all freshmen and sophomores should have to live on campus! Living away from home “on their own”, gaining their independence and meeting so many new people. The campus is also a safe place to walk around.

Our daughter did not know anyone going to St.Cloud State and she also did not know her roommate. She ended up being fast friends with many of the girls in her dorm as well as her roommate. We all loved the meal plan, knowing she had healthy options available. She is so looking forward to the upcoming school year once again living in the dorms and is also looking into being an Community Advisor (CA) in the future.

I’m glad my daughter is living on campus because she really enjoys it. She is able to attend the on-campus activities and this has helped her become more outgoing. It is just very convenient to live right on campus. Everything you need is right there.

Campus life is great. Everything is right where you need it. No crazy parking to worry about because you can walk or bike anywhere you need to go. It's great.

Residence Life experience is beneficial to developing a sense of community. There is much to be learned outside of the classroom experience and the residence halls play a vital role in this experience. -Robert and Debra Sievert, New Richmond WI
Living on campus is a great way to be on your own for the first time away from your parents. You have the security of other people around and you can have a meal plan so as not to worry about cooking and money for food.

Living on campus helped my son develop life long skills including independence, responsibility, and time management. I saw these skills greatly increase throughout the year as my son was immersed in the on-campus social environment.

Having my daughter live on campus gives me true peace of mind. I don’t have to worry about her safety and she can truly experience the full "college experience”. She is closer to classes, closer to other students, in the "hub" of activity, and not only that, it is cheaper.
