Residence Life

COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions About Housing

Aside from providing students with a safe and affordable place to live that’s close to their classes and campus amenities, HBU’s on-campus residences make acclimating to college life easy. We put students together in one place, making it easy to form new friendships, get involved in different events and organizations, and take part in study groups. We also help students to grow spiritually, develop interpersonal skills, learn about diverse cultures and become more self-disciplined, all while in a community of friends, peers and mentors.

At HBU, we realize that not all students want the same thing when it comes to housing, so we offer a variety of different options, from residence colleges to student apartments to living-learning communities.
