An appropriate resi– dence hall environment contributes to academic achievement, an understanding of oneself, and development of interpersonal skills and appropriate attitudes toward others. Consequently, all single students under twenty-five years of age are required to live in col– lege residence halls or approved housing, except those commut– ing from the home of their parents or legal guardian. Housing assignments are made by the Student Services Office. Upperclassmen who have paid reservation fees are given priority for reserving rooms. New students are assigned rooms after they have been admitted and have submitted their reservation deposits. Complete information concerning residence hall staffing, fur– nishings, and policies is found in the Student Handbook which is sent to new students prior to their arrival on campus. A current listing of housing for married students is available in the Student Services Office. Over eighty percent ofthe student body lives in college housing. Campus Activities The Office of Campus Activities is responsible for providing a program of cultural, social, educational, and recreational ac– tivities that is consistent with college educational and spiritual ob– jectives and, therefore, contributes to the personal development of college community members. An artist series provides con– certs, cultural programs, and musical specialists. Other activities include a variety of learning experiences and social events such as banquets, talent nights, all-school parties, interest trips, retreats, and many other activities that appeal to college-age youth. A full range of recreational and intramural sports for both men and women completes the integrative approach of Campus Activities.
