New Student Registration Presentation

Staff from Housing & Residential Life will be present at the New Student Registration (NSR) days. We will be providing housing application assistance, answering questions and giving a presentation to friends, families and guests while the students are busy registering for their classes. Since there is a lot of information to cover in our presentation, take a look at a copy of our presentation.

Residence Halls

Our residential community is composed of seven residence halls housing over 1,200 students and single-parent families. Located in the heart of the BSU campus, they are a short walk to academic buildings and connected to other campus buildings by a system of underground walkways and tunnels.

First year students will live in a double room in either Oak or Tamarack Hall. Upper division students may live in Birch, Linden or Pine where room options include doubles, singles, suites and apartments. All room options are limited in number, and waiting lists are maintained for options that may not be immediately available.
