On-Campus Accommodation

From developing lifetime connections to participating in on-campus social activities and study opportunities, campus living is one of the most popular ways to have the whole "Lumberjack experience". Living on campus immerses you in the whole college experience, and data also shows students who reside on campus had higher GPAs and graduation rates, according to research. SFA offers a range of housing options, such as
