Campus living is one of the best parts of college. You will discover your independence, meet lifelong friends and be within walking distance to all your classes and student services. When you’re not at class, you can study at the library, eat at the cafeteria, or kick back in your dorm room. It’s what college was meant to be.
SCC studies show that students who live on campus are more likely to graduate than those students who don’t. Campus living helps you stay focused and connected. It’s that first-time independent living in a safe environment. Student safety is very important in our residence halls. We have safety officers patrolling the grounds day and night.
Living in the dorms is also very cost-efficient. You get many amenities included for the cost over a 16-week semester: electricity, internet, cable TV, gas, garbage service and 14 meals per week in the dining hall. This is much more economical than living in an off-campus apartment. We have apartment-style and suite-style options to choose from. Also, parking on campus is free! Many colleges throughout the state charge more than $500 a year for a parking pass.
