Live and Savor the Wildcat Life
Housing
From any of our five residence halls, you’ll open your front door to the bustle of campus life. Walk to class, the gym, or the dining hall. Connect with friends or bump into professors around campus.
And most full-time students live on campus. That means more opportunities to create your own social circle.
Dining
At Baker, you’ll find meals just the way you like them. Grab a quick vegetarian lunch. Down a protein-rich plate after a workout.
In the mornings, add The Common Ground coffee shop to your routine. Or grab some late-night study fuel at the Late Night Grill.
Student Activities With Purpose
We believe education goes beyond textbooks. It’s about the communities you join and the connections you make.
Celebrate and pursue your unique interests with likeminded people. Enjoy the traditions of Greek life. Take pride in your academic success as part of an honor society. Join in the student-led traditions that make you feel welcomed on day one.
You’ll have countless ways to spend your time outside the classroom. And wherever you devote your time, you’ll find the support to make every experience meaningful long after graduation.
Our Residence Halls
Your residence hall is the center of your whole college experience. It’s where you’ll make some of your best memories. Your roommates and neighbors become family.
And it’s where you really start to build the independence that prepares you for life beyond Baker.
No matter which of our five residence halls you choose, you’ll find a place—and community—to call home.
