Student Life

Because everyone lives right here, everything happens right here.

Coe is a residential campus, meaning you'll live on campus all four years of attendance. After graduation, you might not remember that homework assignment for your rhetoric professor or the exam you stayed up all night studying for, but you’ll always remember the friendships you forged and the experiences you had while living and studying at Coe.
