Mitchell Hall is home to the Esports Living Community and offers an impressive lounge that includes modern console and PC gaming equipment, lighting and furniture. Esports Living Community students can enjoy organized esports events and tournaments as well as special esports promotions and invitations.
Honors Living Community
The Honors Living Community is designed to complement and support your academic work while also giving you opportunities to meet other honors students, be part of a dynamic and social community, and of course, have fun! The Honors Living Community is located in Lawrence Hall and it is comprised of students that participate in the SCSU Honors College.
Residents enjoy taking some of their classes with students they live with and engaging with faculty and staff through co-curricular programs and events. Living in the same residence hall with other honors students makes it easy to make friends, collaborate on projects, find someone to proof-read a paper, or simply watch a movie and relax.

The Pride Living Community is an all-gendered housing option located in Shoemaker Hall that allows same-gender roommates, opposite-gender roommates, and other gender-identity roommates.
The Pride Living Community is an affirming experience for residents who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, gender-queer, gender-variant and questioning. Allies are also welcome. The Pride Living Community is a joint effort of Residential Life and LGBT Resource Center.
