Your home away from home

Living at Lynn: Housing and Residence Life
Your home away from home
Our lush, 123-acre campus looks
and feels like a tropical paradise.
Picture this:
You stroll around a beautiful, tropical paradise in your flip flops, and pick a spot
on the hammock amidst palm trees swaying in the breeze to read your book
or check your iPad. After a dip in the pool, you change and meet friends at
the lakeside patio where the setting sun is painting the sky a striking shade of
orange and pink. What to have for dinner? Your choices are endless, healthy
and delicious, and there is a delightful smell wafting up from the outdoor grill.
This is not Club Med or a luxury resort. This is life at Lynn … University, that is.
Our lush, 123-acre campus looks and feels like a tropical paradise. We can’t
help it. We’re in South Florida, so we take advantage of all it has to offer.
