That’s why we’ve created CSU’s First-Year Residential Experience, a program that helps you adjust to college life while establishing a foundation of engaged living and learning. Participating students live in either Fenn Tower or select sections of Euclid Commons. You’ll make fast friends within a community of other first-year residents and find balance in your new life.
UPPERCLASSMEN COMMUNITIES
CSU now includes two upperclassmen residence hall communities. Get a taste of what it’s like to live, learn, work and play in the city. Just on the fringe of Playhouse Square, The Edge offers panoramic views of downtown Cleveland from its Skyview Lounge. The Langston , on the northern edge of campus, is just steps from restaurants, the Rec Center, sports fields and the heart of campus.
