Cooking is prohibited in student rooms. Each residence hall floor has a kitchen area with a refrigerator and microwave for preparing light snacks. Appliances may be used in kitchen areas only, not in student rooms. The  residents of each floor are responsible for keeping kitchenette areas in order.

Each residence hall has a housekeeping staff. While housekeepers do not pick up after individual students, they do maintain all common areas (hallways, bathrooms, etc.). It is important to keep your floor lounge and bathroom free from clutter, especially the countertops and showers.

The housekeepers do not clean individual rooms; that is the student's responsibility.

Substance-Free floor

The purpose of the Substance-Free community is to support all students in their decision to not allow alcohol or other drugs to negatively affect the community in which they live. Further, the Substance-Free community exists in order to provide students with a comfortable, safe living environment free from the pressures associated with alcohol and other drugs. This community is close-knit, as students share this common bond. Students who are in substance-abuse recovery programs are encouraged to apply.

Students living within this community agree to three conditions:

• Not to physically bring drugs and/or alcohol into this community
• Not to enter this community under the influence of drugs and or alcohol
• Not to bring guests into this area who are under the effects of drugs and/or alcohol

If students who live in this community are found to violate any of these conditions, they may be asked to move out of the community.

Substance-Free Quiet floor

The Substance-Free Quiet floor is located on the third floor of Howe Hall, within the Substance-Free community and will observe 24-hour quiet hours in addition to the other conditions of Substance-Free living.

Global community

The Global Community has been designed for students who value learning about other countries. This community is open to all students (domestic, international, study-abroad alumni, etc.) who wish to learn more about the global influences on students.

Multicultural community

The Multicultural Community has been designed to provide opportunities for students to learn about, and appreciate the diverse backgrounds of their peers. This community is open to students of all racial and ethnic identities.

Gender Inclusive housing

Gender Inclusive housing is an option provided within our residence halls to allow students to live outside of the standard confines of housing by legal sex. Students choosing this option will be housed in either a section of Wiecking Hall, where the bathroom is not gendered, or in a suite in one of our eight other residence halls where the bathrooms are not gendered.

PRISM Community

Peers Representing Intersectional Identities and Sexuality Meaningfully. 

The PRISM community strives to celebrate the lives and experiences of students who identify within the LGBTQ+ community. We strive to acknowledge intersectionality of identity and create a space where LGBTQ+ individuals can feel valued, safe, and in community with one another through intentional programmatic efforts. Through discussion of LGBTQ+ history, activism, and current events residents of this community can grow in their knowledge of and participation in the LGBTQ+ community at large.

Quiet floor

The quiet floor is a community designed to provide a quieter atmosphere than most residence halls in hope of providing an environment that meets the needs of students that need a quiet environment for their studies.

This floor will observe 24-hour quiet hours year-round. Students who live in this area and violate quiet hours may be asked to move out of the community.

Women's housing

In keeping with our roots of initially being founded as a women's college, 麻豆破解版 College currently offers one women's floor within our residence halls. This floor provides our female students with an opportunity to live in a community consisting exclusively of other women.

The women's floor is open to all students who identify as women.

Honors Forum housing

This housing option is available only to students in the Periclean Honors Forum. Students applying for this option will not need to complete the special-interest housing application; rather, they instead should connect with the Honors Forum staff to indicate their interest.
