Capstone Scholars

Housing

Check out the Capstone virtual tour HERE

1st year Capstone Scholars are strongly encouraged to live in Capstone House, a suite style residence hall located in the north area of campus. Many Capstone Scholars events take place in Capstone House, which is a wonderful social environment. The Capstone Scholars program also works closely with the Capstone House Hall Government to co-sponsor a variety of events. Located in Capstone House is Gibbes Bistro, one of many dining locations on campus. Each Wednesday, Capstone Scholars staff enjoys lunch with the Capstone Scholars at an event called "Hickey Bites."

2nd year Capstone Scholars are encouraged to remain in Capstone House. Housing priority for 2nd year Capstone Scholars is based on a point system. Capstone Scholars earn points for attending all Capstone Scholars events, earning a good GPA, studying abroad, applying for the research grants, poster presentation at Discovery Day, being a leader in a student organization, internships, etc. More information concerning the point system can be found under HERE.

Beginning Fall 2013, on-campus housing for upperclassman will be very limited. Your best chance of living on-campus is to live on the second fllor of Capstone or in the Fellows House.
