Statistical Overview

We’re proud to say that everything we do is from funding that is [95% internally generated]. Facility improvement and construction, team salaries, social and educational programming ... it’s all created from funding that originates from the use of our buildings... not from tax dollars, not from other university resources. Our most important resources though are people ... people on our team and the people we serve.

Our students and team members come together from all over the world and have a wide-variety of backgrounds, life stories, skills, and interests that help to make up our community. We’re big on community by the way.

Since no income from state tax funds are received by the Department of Housing & Residence Education, all listed expenses must be paid with the rent collected. Applying the percentage figures noted on the pie graph to your room rent will allow you to see where each dollar of your rent money goes.
