TSU Housing Brochure

2019-2020
Campus Housing Guide

Welcome Home!

TSU Housing will help you learn life skills in a world beyond the classroom.

We understand that moving to a new place can be a daunting
process, but living on campus will make your transition
seamless. Our living communities will help you build
relationships that last a life time while providing multiple

food options and quiet and comfortable places to study and
relax. Our role in Residential Life & Housing is to create an

experience that you will remember forever.

Why is staying on campus the place to live? Students have
the advantage of being close to classes, the library,

recreation facilities, student organizations, and events that
are essential to campus life.

Additionally, on-campus residents have the opportunity to
study with other students who share the same majors. This
brochure will help you in making one of the biggest decisions
for college – deciding where you want to live. You will find
the descriptions of the living communities and the features
that make each one exceptional. You will also learn about

our meal plans, retail dining, and how to secure a room
reservation.
