Living on campus gives a student more time to study, make new friends and participate in community activities. Students who live on campus get more involved with campus clubs and activities, allowing them to gain more leadership skills, increasing their feeling of self-confidence and overall satisfaction with their college experience. They utilize campus resources more, including the library, faculty and staff, and have higher GPAs than students living off campus. As a Benedictine residential community, we seek not only to study the gospel tradition, but also to experience it by the way we live together, in the quality of our relationships with one another and in the norms we recognize for communal responsibility. The residential staff works in support of those policies that encourage individual development within the context of campus life.
All students are accountable to the community for their actions.
We emphasize personal growth, sensitivity to people, stewardship of common property and care for the environment. Students are allowed to keep a car on campus, but parking is limited. Parking permits are required. They may be purchased at the Life Safety Services Office, Basement St. Thomas Hall.
