In spite of the seeming isolation of the campus, its close proximity to Asheville and Black Mountain provides for a variety of off campus activities and cultural experiences. Residence Halls Ninety percent of Warren Wilson College students live in one of the nine campus residence halls. Each has TV and study lounges, a kitchen or kitchenettes, and a laundry room. Most rooms are double occupancy. Each hall is staffed by a director and student resident assistants.
Halls are largely self-governing.
Each plans its own social activities, allocates its budget, and enforces rules through an elected Hall Council. The Student Caucus is the primary representative body for students. The twenty students on Caucus meet each week during the school year to hear the concerns of students, provide information to the student body, discuss the Student Life Division budget, communicate concerns to the administration, and make policy recommendations in areas affecting student life, particularly the general philosophy and direction of the College, social regulations, student discipline, student housing, student activities, intercollegiate athletics, work program, service program, and the academic calendar. College standing committees, including Academic Council, Athletics, Work Program, Student Life, Service Learning, Business Affairs, Safety and Security, Long Range Planning, and Publications, have elected voting student members. Students are appointed or elected to Task Forces and Search Committees.
