Housing services

It’s so much more than a dorm room. It’s sharing a coffee at Rosie’s Cafe and chatting over lunch at the Public Market. It’s attending residence events that help you develop deep bonds with your neighbors. It’s forming friendships you will have for life. It’s a living and learning environment you’ll love calling your home.

Library services

The Library is open to current HNU students, faculty, and staff for individual seat reservations. Group study is not available at this time. Items can also be requested for door-side pickup.
