The primary purpose of the residence life program is to offer safe, comfortable housing that assists students to be academically and personally successful. Residents are encouraged to become involved in hall and campus activities, develop lifelong friendships, and participate in experiences that will enhance skills for future employment. Residence hall and apartment communities are staffed by full-time professionals, graduate interns, trained undergraduate community coordinators/advisers, and student employees. Staff members provide assistance with referrals to campus resources, developing hall communities, mediating roommate disagreements, responding to emergency situations, and providing educational and social programs. Several housing options are available, including traditional double rooms, suites, and apartments. West Campus, Farnham, Chase, Wilkinson, Neff, and Hickerson halls offer double and triple rooms with community bathrooms. West Campus and Brownell offer suite-style rooms with private bathrooms. These communities are alcohol-free housing. Residents living in these communities are required to purchase a meal plan. Meal plans can be used at Connecticut Hall (main dining facility), the Adanti Student Center, and convenience stores throughout campus.
