Panther Village is home to upperclass students living in apartment-style accommodations, offering studio, 2- and 4- single bedroom apartments. The apartments have fully-equipped kitchens, so meal plans are optional. To be eligible, students must have at least two years post high school experience. Phase I of Panther Village was built in 2011, adding Phase III in 2013 (with future plans for Phase II). The apartments sit on the south side of campus in close proximity to the Quads, the Piazza dining center, Redeker Center and the Gallagher Bluedorn. Panther Village is open all year round, offering students an air conditioned place to stay during the summer months.
