1990-1991 Academic Catalog

22 Student Life Residence hall living is considered to be an integral part of the educa– tional process. An appropriate residence hall environment contributes to academic achievement, an understanding of oneself, and development of interpersonal skills and appropriate attitudes 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 separate residence halls. 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. The newest residence hall has in-room computer capabilities. Housing assignments are made by the Student Services Office. Upper– classmen 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, furnishings, and policies is found in the Residence Life Handbook which is sent to new students prior to their arrival on campus. A listing of area apartment owners is available for married students in the Student Services Office.
