Please do not hesitate to contact the Residence Life Office with any questions. Within the framework of the Hood College Honor Code , students are encouraged to create and implement a residential experience that promotes individual growth, learning, and participation in the Hood community. Students vote on residential issues such as quite hours and parietal policies. They also serve on the Student Government , House Council , and other organizations, forging an interactive partnership with faculty, administration, and staff. The Social Honor Code Outlined in the Student Handbook and the constitution of each residence hall, Hood's Social Honor Code articulates community standards that ensure a comfortable and safe environment in which students can pursue their academic endeavors.
Students exercise mutual respect and consideration while enjoying personal freedom.
The Roommate Experience Living with another individual requires the arts of negotiation and compromise. Through the roommate experience, Hood students develop personal skills that serve them well after their college years. Traditional-aged freshman and sophomore students are expected to live in the residence halls if they do not live with their families within commuting distance. Students are matched with a roommate based on their responces to questions on the Roommate Preference Form , which include lifestyle preferences and choice of residence hall. The Residence Life Office notifies students of their housing assignments in July, including the name, address, and telephone number of their respective roommates.
