At Cornerstone University, we do residence life differently. During your four years at Cornerstone, you’ll become fully integrated into campus life through formative experiences like Orientation Week and campus-wide events like chapel. These experiences are meant to transform you from the inside out and inspire you to engage with your roommates and friends in every aspect of life.
At Cornerstone, we encourage each student to become involved in our community. You’ll see examples of this everywhere you look on campus—students having lunch with their professors, greeting each other as they walk to class and hosting spontaneous nights of worship in their residence halls. Here, a Christ-centered community is crucial to everything we do.
