Where you can be you: your home away from home

Our welcoming campus community empowers you to come as you are and become who you want to be. Together, we create an inclusive environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging. Sharing everyday life—studying, eating, rooming, exploring, hanging out—is a priceless life-preparing experience.

Bonding over culinary explorations

Guiding the culinary adventure, Mark, our skilled pastry chef and House Parent, joined forces with student Ambassadors Pratham from India and Ayaka from Japan. Together, they orchestrated a MasterChef-style competition designed to immerse new students. With Pratham and Ayaka’s international perspectives and Mark’s expertise, the event not only showcased the diverse talents of our students but also provided a flavorful opportunity for new students to bond.

Together, our differences become our super-power

We are deeply committed to creating a vibrant campus community—students, faculty, and staff—that reflects the rich diversity of our world and where everyone feels seen, heard and valued. Whoever you are, whatever makes you unique, whatever you are passionate about—we welcome you!

Creating your home away from home

Living on campus nurtures independence within a safe and nurturing environment. Surrounding your residence building, you’ll discover serene, quiet study areas, a student kitchen where you can cook special meals with your friends, and a welcoming student lounge. The strong bond among students is fortified through group activities and friendly competitions orchestrated by our dedicated Boarding team.
