Students in our campus housing are members of a distinctive academic community with strong traditions and a commitment to developing personal excellence. While individuality is welcome, community living requires that individuals balance personal freedom with respect for others. The staff is also available to help solve problems and plan community events and projects. Each student is the focus of Residential Education at Colby-Sawyer, and students' active involvement in that education is welcome. The building blocks of our community are good relationships with roommates and other students throughout the residence hall.
Communication is of key importance.
We encourage students to learn to work with each other to understand their differences and to be understood. All students make a difference in our community. We encourage students to think about the impact that they will make. All students should be prepared to be members- and leaders.
