1999-2000 Academic Catalog

~ I Housing Residence hall living is an integral part of the educational process at Cedarville. An appropriate residence hall environ– ment contributes to academic achievement, an understanding of one's self, and the development of interpersonal skills and appropriate attitudes toward others. Residence hall living also develops lasting friendships and rich memories. Consequently, all single students under 25 years of age, except those commut– ing from the home of their parents or legal guardian, are required to live in college residence halls. Students 25 and older must secure off-campus housing. Approximately 80% of the student body lives on campus in college housing. Men and women are housed in separate residence halls. All offer convenient laundry and lounge areas and house just two students per room. Each room is fully furnished and equipped with a phone, pennitting students to dial and receive calls directly. Every residence hall offers a computer and printer in each room linked to CedarNet, the campus-wide computer network. Students also have access to computer labs on campus. 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, furnishings, and policies is found in the Student Handbook, which is sent to new students prior to their arrival on campus. Married students find housing at Cedar Park, a college– owned apartment complex, or in one ofmany area apartments. The Women's Choir is a musical group of 50 select voices that pe1form numerous concerts both on and off campus for schools, churches, and civic organizations. The Cedarville women's volleyball squad captured the American ~Mideast C01~ference championship in 1998 with a 14-2 league record.
