Campus Housing
Arcadia is a residential campus, meaning that students who do not live within 25 miles live on campus for their first two years. Our residence life team fosters a welcoming community that celebrates diversity and encourages individuality. With dedicated health and safety support, students who live on campus graduate at a 30% higher rate.
