Philosophy of Residence Hall Living
Benedictine University maintains and operates residence halls as an integral part of academic life, as educational experiences are not solely contained in the classroom, laboratory or library. The residence halls provide an opportunity for students to combine academic life with social development. Students must establish and test their own values, develop social skills, determine priorities and learn to organize their time.

Daily living with others encourages the development of a cooperative attitude, respect for individual rights and a sense of group responsibility. As a result, the residence halls develop diverse communities which meet the needs of its members both individually and collectively, create attitudes and develop skills necessary to progress toward the realization of those conditions which make up a healthy community.

In a continuing effort to provide the safest and most secure environment on campus, all of our residence hall facilities will be equipped with state-of-the-art access control card readers and high-resolution color cameras beginning Fall 2007.
