At Beloit, the residence halls are where new friends become like family — and every room feels like home.
School spirit is personal here — you aren't just cheering for the Buccaneers, you're cheering for your classmates and friends.
C-Haus is your space to create, connect, and unwind — It's where Beloiters make their own kind of vibe.
