First Year Quad

Grow together with your peers in our first-year community.

Our first-year student residences Livingston Alexander and Fesenmyer allow students the chance to develop as students and young adults in our freshman-only living communities. New students can choose between a traditional hall-style residence in Livingston Alexander or a suite-style apartment in Fesenmyer. Each room provides residents with a twin XL bed, desk, chair, and wardrobe.
