The Campus has its own Public Safety Department which functions twenty-four hours a day, each day of the year. The men and women of this department are constantly on motor patrol and cover fixed posts in their efforts to protect property and persons of the College Community. They are mandated to prevent and detect criminal acts on Campus, to enforce all College Rules and Regulations and all Local, State and Federal statutes, causing arrests to be made when necessary. Most Southampton College students live on campus in one of sixteen residence halls. The two-story red brick residence halls are divided into a number of suites, each of which accommodate eight to ten students.
All suites have a common lounge area and bath facilities.
Pets are not permitted in the residence halls. All freshmen who live more than fifty miles from the college are required to live on campus. This does not apply to veterans, married students, or students over twenty-one years of age. Campus living is directed by the Residence Life Staff whose purpose is to maintain an environment that fosters academic and personal growth of the resident student. The staff is available to assist with interpersonal problems and conflicts, personal concerns, and to serve as a primary resource of information concerning College activities and policies.
