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, Wi-Fi internet access, 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.
