First year students are assigned randomly to housing. Students can receive change, check out equipment, pick up mail and leave messages for staff at the main desk. Halls are all wired for internet connection. Flint Hall has been home to the Honors Learning Community. In 1997-98, Sadler Hall served as the pilot project for the community standards program, a program which emphasizes student responsibility and accountability through dialogue and shared agreements.
All North Campus halls now work under the community standards model.
At South Campus, the apartments include two and three bedrooms with kitchens and bath and are grouped together in buildings of 8-12 apartments each. Each North Campus residence hall is represented in the Residence Hall Association. The RHA is advised by the Assistant Director of Residence Life. This recognized campus organization plans programs and provides feedback and input to Residence Life and Housing and ID Card Services about residence life issues. Each hall has a Hall Council that plans programs and events for residents.
