Residence Life

Life on campus is an experience unlike any other.

Real life. New friends. Memories you will cherish forever.

This is your first chance to live away from home, and we bet they'll be some of the best years of your life. Get your first real taste of independence while still having a support system (Residence Life staff) to go to when you need something. Our ResLife staff works hard to plan fun events that will give you opportunities to connect with your dorm mates, and they're there for you when you have a question about Cumberlands, need directions to a local place, or just want someone to talk to.

Need to start the process of choosing a dorm room, or want to check your housing status? Just click the button below.

Housing Portal

A healthy dorm life leads to better accomplishments.

Our goal in Housing & Residence Life is to create an atmosphere of community that is conducive to healthy lifestyles and academic accomplishment. We strongly believe living on campus can help you make the most of your UC experience. Along these lines, our student handbook outlines the safety protocols and guidelines we have in place to help ensure a safe and healthy experience for everyone living on our campus. At Cumberlands, we are One Big Team in all aspects, including residence life. Welcome home, Patriots!
