Residence Life

Welcome to Residence Life at HCU.  Our goal is to ensure that our residents succeed and have the best experience possible. To us, that means fusing together living and learning.  We do that by integrating the residence life experience and the educational process.  The benefits of residing on campus are abundant, and research even shows that students who live on campus have a more productive and ultimately more satisfying college experience. That’s why, at HCU, you’ll find a campus that’s also a thriving community—one that fosters collaboration, friendship and spiritual development.
