The Office of Residential Life and Housing Services coordinates all University housing options for students. The office staff, hall directors, and resident assistants work with students to make the halls a “home away from home” by creating a healthy living/learning atmosphere. Students have direct input to their living environment through the Residence Hall Associations and the Hall Councils, which address concerns and organize activities for members of the hall community.
The University currently houses students in nine different areas: Angelo Roncalli Hall, Elizabeth Ann Seton Hall, Thomas Merton Hall, Christian Witness Commons, Scholars Commons, Pioneer Gardens, Park Ridge Apartments, Taft Commons, and Oakwood Gardens. These varied areas offer distinct residential lifestyles, from traditional high-rise resident halls to on- and off-campus apartments.
Student Activities
The Student Activities Office seeks to enhance the college experience outside the classroom by offering both cocurricular and extracurricular opportunities for students. In addition, the Student Activities Office teaches life skills to students through formal training sessions and leadership opportunities.
A vital component of the Department of Student Life, the office is responsible for scheduling, planning, and overseeing all student events on campus. The Student Activities Office is a center for information on events, student groups, Student Government, and student leadership. The Student Activities Office can be reached at 203-365-7675.
