Why not live on campus and get a full college experience? At EAC, living in a residence hall makes campus life fun, affordable, and easy.

You’ll be in the middle of all activities living in one of our residence halls. It’s an advantage both socially and academically because you’re close to everything – classes, club events, music and theater performances, and athletic matches. You’ll also enjoy delicious daily meals with your friends at Gila Hank’s Café. No cooking or cleanup.

Housing FAQs

Policies
Safety and Security
  • What type of security does the College have?

    EA has a full-time campus police unit that has multiple certified officers that provide protection. EAC also enjoys cooperation with local law enforcement agencies that can respond if the need arises.

  • How do I find out about on campus health issues?

    Information about immunizations, insurance and other campus health issues can be found in the online student handbook.

  • How do I Protect My Belongings?
    • Do not bring expensive items to school
    • Do not keep large amounts of cash in your room
    • Keep valuables out of sight and locked if possible
    • Engrave large items with your driver’s license number and state of issue or student ID number
    • Lock your bike on racks
    • Never leave your room unlocked – your roommate has their own key for access

    There will be a lot of people coming and going with boxes, computers, TVs, etc. It is an opportune time for a thief to blend into the crowd and carry out your stuff! As you are making your trips from the parking lot, have someone watch your car and room or lock the doors.

Meal Plans
  • How do I change my meal plan?

    If you are on the reservation list for housing, please contact the Housing Office to make necessary changes. If you have moved into the residence halls, you may make changes to your meal plan through the first two weeks of classes. After that, you will be able to add value to your meal card as needed.

  • What is the best or most popular meal plan?

    The choice is dependent on individual eating habits. Students must look to themselves for the best answer to this question and decide how they will use their declining balance meal plan.

  • What is the cost of a residence hall room and meal plan?

    Although EA housing and meal costs are among the lowest you’ll find, they do tend to increase slightly from year to year. For the most accurate cost information on rooms and meal plans, see the Housing and Dining page in the academic catalog.
