START CONNECTING WITH BGSU

You can learn a lot about life on campus when you follow us on social media. On our Facebook page, you will get important housing updates throughout the year about the housing selection process and important information you will need when you live on campus. Students and families also find our private Facebook groups to be very valuable. We only have a handful of University administrators in these groups to help answer questions – but for the most part, these groups are ran by their members.

We also invite you to follow us on Instagram where you can find room photos and more!
