The Quad

Students who wish to stay at The Quad or the Quad Townhomes must be a sophomore or 20 years old by Sept. 1st. Although both are the latest housing options the University has, the amenities are similar to Cougar Place with fitness, computer and laundry facilities. There are private bedrooms in this suite-style living. Meal plans are required for both options.
