2 Did You Know? Living on campus provides easier access to professors, clubs, activities, and meals without having to worry about traffic, the cost of gas, or returning to campus for nighttime events. There is peace of mind knowing you don’t have to obsess over paying utility bills, shopping for groceries, or worrying about your Internet connection. Being a resident on campus lets you focus on living. Get involved and make new friends! Full immersion into the college experience fosters a sense of independence with the comfort of built-in safety nets. Your peers are your neighbors, the resident assistants (RAs) care about your success, and a medical center and other support services are right around the corner. Residency Requirement NSU requires first-year students to live on campus. Through research and experience, NSU recognizes that first-year students face an adjustment their first time living away from home. Living on campus provides a transition period, giving you a sense of independence with the comfort of added safety nets. RESIDENCY EXEMPTIONS You are exempt from the on-campus residency requirement if you • reside with a parent or legal guardian within Broward, Miami-Dade, or Palm Beach Counties • are married or in a domestic partnership • are a veteran or active United States military personnel • are 20 years old or older Meal Plan All students living in any NSU residence, regardless of credit hours, must purchase a mandatory, declining-balance plan per semester. If residents choose to apply additional funds to their cards, it can be done at any time. If a balance exists on a resident’s declining-balance plan at the end of the fall semester, the resident’s funds will roll over to the winter semester. Once the winter semester ends, the remaining balance will no longer be available to the resident. Visit nova.edu/housing to review plan details for each hall.
