Every year there are a handful of residences with designated communities such as Theme Houses, Quiet, and Healthy Living. In addition to the Residence and Dining Regulations, there are additional requirements to live in these designated communities. By selecting or being placed into these communities, students agree to the following from the beginning of the first semester until the end of the Short Term.

Quiet Residences:

Cheney House and Whittier House

• Noise must be contained within my room (i.e. radios, speakers, TVs, and other devices should not be heard outside my own room).
• If noise can be heard and others ask me to be quieter, I will lower the volume of noise coming from my room.
• I will speak at a conversational level when in the public spaces in the building.
• I understand that my visitors must abide by the same guidelines stated in this contract.
• I also understand that I am responsible for their actions while in the residence.
• I will be respectful and courteous to my neighbors in regard to noise level.
• I understand that violation of any of these conditions will likely result in my removal from the residence.

Healthy Living Residences: 

In Healthy Living communities, students cannot return to their residence under the influence of alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs. These substances are also prohibited from the residence. Living in a Healthy Living residence allows students to develop a close, vibrant community without the presence of drugs and alcohol. Tobacco is prohibited from all campus residences.

Clason House and Wood Street House

• I will at no time possess or use alcohol or other drugs within or outside of the residence. The only exception is possession of any controlled substances prescribed by a physician.
• I will at no time smoke any substance within or outside the residence. This includes but is not limited to cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vapes, cigars, pipes, chewing tobacco, and cannabis.
• I understand that my visitors must abide by the same guidelines stated in this contract for the duration of their visit. I also understand that I am responsible for their actions while in the residence.
• I understand that violation of any of these conditions will likely result in my removal from the residence.

Theme Houses:

Updated Fall 2024

We will be pausing the Theme Housing option for the 2025-2026 Academic Year so that we can evaluate this program, gather student input, and determine how to move forward with this process.
