Describe the dorms.

Andrea

We offer two dorm complexes for freshmen. Our dorms are not giant buildings with tons of floors levels, each complex is made up of residential hall that have around 50 to 100 students in each. The first one is a smaller complex within the campus. It's called Middle Earth. All the resident Halls are named after the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Our second complex is much larger and is across the street from the campus and it's called Mesa Court. When I was a freshman, I lived in Mesa Court and my hall was called Camino. living in the dorms is a great way to make friends and be able to explore how it is to be on your own. many good friends are people you lived in the dorm with. I highly recommend living int he dorms.
