Living on Campus

Residence Life Director - Sachiko Vidourek


Living on campus is a great opportunity for you to become involved in your new community! The University thinks this is so important that all first, second, and third year students are required to live on campus.

You'll be living in housing with other freshmen. Freshman housing is in Trull, Delaney and Flato r halls. Each building is unique, but something you'll find in common among all residence halls is an euthusiastic and supportive staff. The Residence Life staff manage the halls and offer guidance and help however they can. All staff work with you to provide activities to help you get to know others in the community, and maybe even learn something!

You will probably experience the most personal freedom you have ever had when you move on campus. Along with this freedom comes responsibility. Responsibility is not simply knowing and obeying written rules and regulations, although that is a part of it. Responsibility also means contributing to a positive experience for the group as a whole, respecting the rights of others and differing points of view, personal integrity, refraining from causing harm to another person or to property, and living a purposeful, humane, and productive life in the community.

There are few opportunities to live in such a tightly knit community than in college housing. Sharing a room or suite with other people and space with hundreds of others is a unique and often challenging experience. We encourage you to work hard at making your experience a positive one.

 
WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU …WHAT TO LEAVE AT HOME

There are a lot of things from home you can bring with you to help make your residence hall space your own personal space. Talk with your roommate to see what she/he might have to bring so you don't end up with two microwaves and two stereos! We want you to feel at home here…you are welcome to bring many things, but we also want you to be safe, so there are a few restrictions:
