All student rooms feature Internet access, cable TV, individualized voice-mail, and new, stackable furniture that students can arrange to the suit their needs. Students also have personal mailboxes and e-mail accounts.
Residence halls are open year-round, even during vacations.
Each residence hall has a governing body that provides residents with social activities and additional opportunities for community involvement. The Residence Hall Association advises the Office of Residence Life on issues concerning resident students and provides such students with a variety of social, educational, and political programs. Residence Life Office, ext. Elmhurst's largest residence hall, Schick was renovated in the summer of 1999. Once inward-looking, the College began to fully engage the larger community during Schick's presidency.
