Top 10 reasons living on campus rocks!

Living in one of Lynn’s residence halls is not just about where you sleep-it’s a way of life. That’s why we call it Residence Life. And each of the 5 residence halls scattered throughout the campus-where over 1,000 of your fellow students live-has its own style and South Florida flair.

Top 10 reasons living on campus rocks!

10 You don’t have to waste money for gas or time finding a parking spot on campus. Everything is within walking distance—no commute!

09 Your cable, Internet and utilities are included, plus wireless access is just about everywhere.

08 Scenic study areas, including lakeside hammocks and benches, make great places to read and relax.

07 You’ll enjoy great meals (24/7 dining) in a convenient location, so no need to cook and more time to study or play.

06 You have tons of opportunities to get involved and become part of the campus community.
