Each hall provides facilities, programs, and staff members to contribute to your personal and academic growth. Community living provides opportunities for you to make responsible decisions, as well as opportunities for leadership and campus involvement. Tri-State is committed to making residence hall life pleasant, productive, and safe. Every hall has a resident director residing in the building. All halls have student resident assistants who are chosen through a rigorous selection process and trained for their responsibilities.
All residence halls are non-smoking.
The primary challenge of living in a residence hall is to learn to live together with a wide variety of people. For individuals to live together, respect for each other and a commitment to certain standards are required. These standards are based on respect for the rights of others. Every resident of every hall has the right to an environment conducive to academic pursuit and personal growth, the right to some measure of privacy, and the right to belong to the community. Along with these rights are responsibilities to oneself, to one's roommate, to the residents of the building, and to the members of the University.
