Welcome to Boro Living!

It is an exciting time to be coming to Edinboro University!  Excellence surrounds our students inside classrooms led by highly accomplished faculty members, and surrounded outside of the classroom by staff and peers who are genuinely interested in your success both academically and personally.  The Residence Life and Housing staff eagerly awaits your arrival and wants to assist in any way possible to alleviate any undue concerns as you transition to our community. 

     
THE HIGHLANDS
The Highlands at Edinboro University are our newly created residences conveniently located in communities that provide our students with access to classroom and campus recreational and dining facilities.   Students may elect to live in suites that offer single or double bedrooms with a common area; semi-suites that offer increased privacy without extra common space; or single or double studios that offer privacy within a community that offers interaction among community members.  (Click here for more about The Highlands)

TRADITIONAL HALLS
Edinboro's traditional residence halls offer a classic residential experience for our students.  This environment provides our students with opportunity to interact with peers, plan activities and participate in all aspects of community living.   Students generally share a room with another student.  Bathroom facilities are common to the floor or living unit, but offer privacy for the residents.  Common lounge areas and kitchens are offered in each building.

LIVING LEARNING COMMUNITIES
Living-Learning Communities provide our resident students with an opportunity to become involved in activities with faculty and other students who share common interests. Students who participate in these communities are better connected to campus resources and tend to remain in school at greater rates than those who don't participate.

COMMUNITY
Students who live on campus are not only closer to campus events and activities, but also take advantage of programs and spontaneous interactions that occur among others within the community.  Whether taking a walk on our 585 acre campus, or heading down to Edinboro Lake, there is always someone who's ready to go along.  We have over 100 student clubs and organizations!

CONVENIENCE
Edinboro University offers a wide array of campus-based activities and events that include:  Fighting Scots Athletics, Homecoming, Family Weekend, Random Acts of Kindness - Edinboro (RAKE), Concerts, Performances, Plays, Movies, Harvest Festival, Recreational Sports, Open Recreation time at the Z Dome and at the Pool, the Red Carpet Gala, SnowFest, Greek Week, and the Big Event.  University Programming Board, Student Government and Residence Hall Association provide great leadership opportunities, even for new students.  Get Involved!
