LIVE ON CAMPUS AT CARROLL COLLEGE !

Living on campus is an integral part of the education experience at Carroll College, be part of an exciting residential campus.

With a new staff, new attitude and fresh energy, Community Living is dedicated to student success.

Community Living staff assists students in learning how to live in community on a residential campus. The friendships and life experiences developed by living on campus provide students with many unexpected benefits that positively impact the academic, occupational, recreational, spiritual, mental and emotional maturity of students. Students learn by daily practice how to develop healthy eating, sleeping, study and social habits. For these reasons, students are required to live in college housing for their first two years of college and are encouraged to live all four years in college housing.

To promote a positive living and learning environment, Community Living is responsible for educational programming, group activity advising, leadership development, student conduct, peer counseling, housing administration and resource referral for students. A Community Advisor (CA), a student paraprofessional trained to address the needs of students, lives on residence hall floors. An Assistant Director of Community Living, a master's degree-level professional trained in hall administration, community development and staff supervision supports each residence hall.
