All first-year students will live in one of six first-year residence halls:
- Frohman-Robb
- Jarvis
- Jones
- Little
- North Campus
- Elton
These halls have been chosen for first-year students because their physical structures are conducive to creating vibrant academic and social communities. Also, many of these residence halls are equipped with seminar classrooms and study lounges, and all of them have well furnished lounges with cable television. The residence halls range from 60 to 120 students. All of the buildings are co-educational, although some floors within the halls are single sex. All bathrooms are reserved for single sex usage. For more information about the first-year residence halls, please visit the Office of Campus Life Web site.
SEMINARS AND RESIDENCE HALLS
The participants of each First-Year Seminar are spread throughout the same residence hall. Upperclass students who live in the First-Year residence halls as First-Year Mentors and Resident Assistants (RAs) assist new students in the academic and social transition to college life. First-Year Mentors provide academic support, counseling, and educational programming for their Seminars in the residence halls. RAs work with particular floors to develop community through informational meetings, educational and social events. RAs receive special training in conflict resolution, crisis management, student development and community building.
