24 Student Life Housing Residence hall living is considered to be an integral part of the educational process. An appropriate residence hall environment contributes to academic achievement, an understanding of one– self, and development of interpersonal skills and appropriate atti– tudes toward others. Residence hall living also develops lasting friendships and rich memories. Consequently, all single students under twenty-five years of age, except those commuting from the home of their parents or legal guardian, are required to live in college residence halls or approved housing. Approximately eighty-five percent of the student body lives on campus in college housing. Men and women are housed in sepa– rate residence halls. More than half of the thirteen residence halls are less than ten years old. All offer convenient laundry, storage, and lounge areas; most house just two students per room. Each room is fully furnished and equipped with a phone, permitting students to dial and receive calls directly. 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 from the Student Services Office.
