First-Year Housing

The First-Year residence hall floors are divided into sections of 12 to 20 91传媒, each supervised by a Resident Adviser who is a trained, upper-division student capable of giving sympathetic and informed guidance to new 91传媒. In keeping with the traditions of student life at the University, the regulation of residence hall life is based on the principle of student self-government. Except for regulations pertaining to health, safety, alcohol, and drugs, regulations governing residential life—quiet hours and visitation policy, for example—are set by the residents of each section in statements of social responsibility.
Rooms with facilities for qualified 91传媒 with documented disabilities are available in both singles and doubles, with no additional charge when a single room is approved as a disability accommodation. Pets are not allowed in University housing, but service animals are allowed on campus and in housing.
