The university encourages students to live on campus their first year, which is why a student deciding to live on campus obtains a scholarship that has a higher value. Having a roommate can definitely be a challenge, especially if you are an only child, but if you enter with an open mind, it can most definitely be an exciting experience!

The chefs try their best at accommodating to the students. There are different specials offered throughout the day, changing based on the day of the week.

The only downside is that the cafeteria tends to be closed when the university is closed, which is not a good thing for students living on campus throughout the holidays.
