2. 你可以在学业上茁壮成长 

Students who live on campus are more likely to graduate on time 和 maintain a higher GPA—和 it’s easy to see why. By living on campus you can build stronger communities with your peers 和 professors, 并获得更容易的访问 支持服务 like office hours, tutoring sessions, a writing center, 和 academic enrichment activities. 

3. 充满活力的社区 

It’s not a cliché to say that college is a time to find yourself, our campus community is the perfect place to do just that. You’ll make lifelong friends with your dorm neighbors, connect with peers of similar interests through 俱乐部和组织 和 learn about cultures from all over the world.

4. 安全第一 

Living on campus provides peace of mind.

5. 无与伦比的便利位置 

Start your day off with a hearty meal from one of the dining halls located near your residence hall. If you have some time to spare in between classes, charge up at an on-campus coffee shop. And when it’s time to unwind after classes, drop by the RAC for a spin class! The benefits of living at SEU go beyond campus amenities, 和 also include our convenient location in the heart of the city. Our stop on the local bus route means a swim at Barton Springs or a picnic at Zilker Park is just a short ride away. For more local spots around campus, check out our list of 18个最佳学习地点 在南奥斯汀.
