All housing options have professional staff (Residence Life Coordinators or Resident Directors) and resident assistants living in the buildings. Staffs are present to act as a resource for students, provide educational and social programming, enforce policy, and to act as a liaison between the students and the host site. Each room will be furnished with a minimum of a bed, desk, desk chair, closet space and dresser for each student. Beds are twin, standard size. The Nora and Dexter Park Apartments also include a dining area table and chairs. Although the different housing sites may have their own unique rules, students are held accountable to the housing rules and regulations outlined in the housing agreement as well as the Student Conduct Code. There are mandatory building meetings at the beginning of each semester to outline unique rules for specific housing locations that may be set by each host site.
