First- and second-year undergraduate students live in Syracuse University housing, with housing for transfer students on a first-come, first-served basis. The Whitman School also participates in the Creativity, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship Learning Community (CIE), which encourages students to focus on creativity and innovation, with a lifestyle perspective on entrepreneurial approaches within all academic disciplines. The community emphasizes the need for imagination in commercial, non-commercial, non-profit, and public sector contexts. CIE students live and learn together in a residential environment that is an "idea laboratory." CIE is open to all SU and ESF students.
