Cabrini students in a residence hall

Residence Halls

Residence halls play an important role in resident students’ lives.

Residential students spend more time in their residence hall than any other place on campus.

Cabrini offers a lot of options in residence halls, from single, double, triple, and quad rooms in co-ed halls and houses, to shared suites and apartments that can house up to six (6) residents. 

All residence halls at Cabrini have a professional staff member or graduate assistant who oversees the building and at least one resident assistant who lives in the hall.

Meeting lifelong friends, making connections with the university, and easy access to campus resources are just a few of the advantages to living on campus.

It is also our belief that providing residents with out-of-the-classroom educational opportunities enables students to become well-rounded individuals.
