SMC offers suites with private and shared bedrooms accessible by keycard entry.

 

Even in two or four-person suites, private bedrooms are available.

Living Area

All of our suites come fully furnished. Our private four- and two-bedroom suites include spacious living rooms, great for hanging out with your roommates or hosting small get-togethers.

SMC housing offers a large living area, full kitchen and bathrooms, and more.

Full Kitchen

All suites include kitchens. Most have a full kitchen, including a refrigerator, oven, microwave, and dishwasher.

Each residence hall room at SMC offers a full kitchen.

Bathroom

Communal bathrooms are a thing of the past, and each suite features bathrooms shared only with suite mates. For example, each four-bedroom suite has two bathrooms, one with a tub and the other with a shower.

Security is a top priority for SMC. Keycard entry is required for entry into the parking lot, buildings, suites and bedrooms. Each floor has a residential advisor, and each building has a professional housing manager available 24/7. All visitors must check in at the front desk. Campus is patrolled day and night by an on-site security officer and an extensive network of cameras. Learn more about campus security here.
