It subscribes to the living/learning experience as a vital part of whole–person Christian education.   In keeping with this philosophy, all full-time, traditional-aged students enrolled in the traditional campus offered program are required to live in the campus residences. Students in violation of this policy will be fined $100 and required to move on campus immediately.
