Townhouse Apartments

Townhouse Apartments building and courtyard

The Townhouse Apartments are a great option for students who want the independence of apartment-style living, but also the convenience and support of living on campus. Starting 2024-2025, Townhouse Apartments will house sophomores, juniors and seniors.

The complex is made up of four-person and six-person townhouses, each featuring two or three double bedrooms, a large living room and kitchen, and a bathroom. Most are two-story; some are single level. Residents of the Townhouses have their own community-center building, a focal point of activities, programs, and socializing. They also are just across the street from Robert Purcell Community Center and have easy access to its facilities, including the Marketplace Eatery dining room and the Bear Necessities convenience store. 

Transfer students who live in the Townhouse Apartments are generally assigned to apartments with other new transfer students.
