Welcome to Union Street!

Union Street Center is a great option for undergraduate students who want to make the transition to apartment living.

At Union Street, residents can enjoy more independent living in fully-furnished apartments while keeping the benefits of living on campus. 

We are excited to offer Union Street Center only to continuing students beginning in the 2025-26 academic year. As a building designed for experienced students, we are thrilled to build our communities by encouraging second years and up to live in on-campus housing.
