The residence life program at Livingston College strives to develop opportunities in the residence halls that encourage the personal growth of students in an environment that is supportive of the academic mission of the college. To this end, the residence life staff implements educational, social, and cultural programs that meet the needs of a diverse student body.
Livingston College offers its students several housing options. Students may choose to live in traditional residence halls that house first-year and upper-class students, or in a special-interest house or floor that offers a living environment centered around a specific theme. Special-interest residence hall sections include first-year student houses, a Leadership House, a Wellness Floor, quiet study areas, and upper-class/senior floor and houses.
Full-time professional staff and trained graduate and undergraduate student staff live in the residence halls. With their help, students plan and carry out a wide variety of activities throughout the year. Holiday parties, trips to Broadway, skiing, programs on health and nutrition, and movies are among the activities students enjoy.
The residence halls are equipped with furnished rooms that include microwave ovens, refrigerator units, common area lounges, and quiet study rooms. In addition, each area has a main lounge that provides a place for students to meet other students during a weekly program or movie, or to participate in a leisurely game of pool, Ping-Pong, foosball, or shuffleboard. Laundry rooms and vending machines also are available to all resident students.
