Residential Life & Housing
LR offers a variety of residential housing options for first-year and upperclassmen housing ranging from apartment-style single rooms and suites for upperclassman to double-occupancy rooms for first-year students.
You can also choose from specialized housing options, including residential learning communities — our Global Village, honors housing and first-generation housing. Greek housing is available for students to strengthen and grow their fraternity and sorority organizations on campus.
Learn About Residence Life at LRLR has helped shaped me into a more responsible and caring person. Without LR, I don't think I would have found myself or grown so close to God.

Learn About Health & WellnessDiversity & Inclusion
As a growing university, we encourage members from all backgrounds, who bring with them a desire for excellence, integrity, care and curiosity, to join our campus family.
We encourage students, faculty, staff to reach beyond what has always been comfortable and stretch to learn about the many cultures and people that surround them.
We strive for a campus climate in which all members are able to freely express their culture and ethnicity.
It is through meaningful interactions with those who do not look like us nor share similar backgrounds, where we as a community are better equipped to understand who we are and ultimately who we can become. By valuing these differences and all that we share, you learn how to interact effectively with a wide variety of people, which builds community and prepares you for the working world.
