In addition to Student Activities and The Ernest L. Boyer Laboratory for Learning, the residence life experience provides many opportunities for social and educational activities. By combining both the academic and residence life experiences, the student is challenged intellectually, spiritually, physically and socially. The Residence Life staff strives to foster these challenges, as well as provide an environment conducive to studying and promoting the learning of life skills and cooperative living. Carson-Newman has five residence halls. Each room is equipped with both cable and telephone outlets.
Cable is included in the cost of the room and local phone is free of charge.
Long distance service can be contracted through the college. A computer network is also available in which residents may communicate with various departments on campus from the convenience of their room, as well as have access to the library and the World Wide Web. All students are required to live on campus for their first three years at Carson-Newman unless they meet at least one of the requirements listed below. All students who live off campus must complete an application and receive approval through the Campus Life Office. Students who live in off-campus housing must adhere to the College Code of Conduct.
