2000-2001 Academic Catalog

16 Student Life 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 attih1des toward others. Residence hall living also develops lasting friendships and rich memories. Consequently, all single sh1dents 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. Sh1dents 25 and older must secure off-campus housing. Approximately 80% of the shldent body lives on campus in university housing. Men and women are housed in separate residence halls. All offer convenient laundry and lounge areas and house just two shldents per room. Each room is fully furnished and equipped with a phone, permitting shldents to dial and receive calls directly. Eve1y residence hall offers a computer and printer in each room linked to CedarNet, the campus-wide computer network. Sh1dents 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 shldents 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 Sh1dent Handbook, which is available through the Cedarville website and is also mailed in an abbreviated format to new sh1dents prior to their arrival on campus. Married sh1dents find housing at Cedar Park, a university– owned apartment complex, or in one ofmany area apartments.
