Campus Life

The Roosevelt experience goes way beyond the classroom. Find out how to get involved in the community, learn about housing and dining options, or get out and have some fun!

The best way to keep up with what's going on at RU is the weekly #RULakerLife emails sent out by the Center for Student Involvement.
