Residence Halls
Selecting a residence hall is much like selecting a lifestyle. There are many factors to be considered, such as size, location and facilities. The best way to determine the "personality" of each residence hall is to visit the campus. A visit provides the most accurate impression of each hall and helps the student make an informed housing decision.
The college currently has four residence halls and two apartment style buildings. Each of the residence halls is a small, corridor style building with centralized bathroom and shower facilities on each floor. The size of the residence hall contributes to the sense of community among residents. Each of the halls has recreation, laundry and private study facilities. Each has cooking facilities for student use. Student bedrooms are equipped with a bed, desk, chair, dresser, closet, individual heating/cooling unit, telephone jack and network connection for personal computers. Most rooms feature built-in style desks, dressers and closets. Each residence hall also has a small computer lab.
Students play a vital role in shaping the personality of their living unit. As individuals living closely with each other, students must balance their needs and desires with the rights of others. At all times residents are expected to consider and preserve the rights of other residents, directly participate in the development of the residence hall community, share equal responsibility for adhering to and enforcing the expectations of the community and take responsibility for actions that violate community expectations.
