At the same time, the University provides a small, supportive learning environment with a total enrollment of 3,000 students and average class size of 18.

The University offers traditional residence halls with double rooms, suites, and single rooms. On-campus apartments for upperclassmen are also provided. The policy for the 2006-2007 school year will require first and second year students under the age of 21 to live on campus.

Peer mentors in the residence halls help first year students adjust to college life and living away from home for the first time.
