Residence Halls

 

dorm_life.jpgResidence hall life plays a major role in the educational process. Each student is challenged to increase social skills, make new and lasting relationships, examine new ideas, learn new skills, and adjust to new and different situations and people.

The college has five residence halls: Arnold, Huston, Long, Woodlee-Ewing and Robinson. Each residence hall contains a computer lab which is linked to BryanNet as well as wireless Internet access.

To take full advantage of the holistic approach to education, all single, full-time students who have not reached the age of 22 and are not living at home or with immediate relatives in the area are required to live in college residence halls. 

Our newest residence hall, Robinson Hall, was opened in August of 2006.  Providing housing for 120 women, the building is a traditional style hall with bathrooms and lounges on each floor, a computer lab and is wired for residents to have wireless Internet access from their rooms.  Rooms are individally climate-controlled and are equipped with movable, modular furniture.
