Cardinal Court

Higher security than off-campus living
-
Access to all University Housing Services staff members - You can count on an Area Coordinator, Complex Coordinator, and Community Assistants similar to the residence halls, these staff members are here to guarantee your success on-campus
-
Financial stability - Your payment, just like when living in the residence hall, is handled through the University, not a third-party, bank, or personal account
