INTEREST HOUSING

Interest housing consists of floors or wings where students live in a community of similar interests. Resident Assistants also gear their community activities around these interests.

Quiet Lifestyle

Quiet lifestyle is offered to those students who enjoy more quiet time then what is offered on a non-quiet lifestyle floor. Not only do quiet hours start one hour earlier than non-quiet floors, but the noise level in general is expected to be lower and monitored more closely.

  1. Quiet hours: 9pm- 10am Sunday through Thursday and 10pm Friday and Saturday. Resident Assistants on all quiet lifestyle floors will meet with floor residents to explain enforcement of the quiet lifestyle. At the beginning of the academic year, each floor may elect to increase the quiet hours by a 100% vote of the residents of the floor. However, the floor may NOT vote to decrease the quiet hours.

  2. Any noise (that is, stereos, televisions, radios, talking, etc.) must be kept at a level that cannot be heard by neighboring residents.

  3. Three quiet lifestyle policy violations will result in removal of the resident from the lifestyle.

Quiet Lifestyle Floors are located throughout the residence hall system.

Fitness Floor

This floor is for students interested in health and physical fitness, and/or those majoring in health, physical education and recreation. It will also attract students who are involved in intercollegiate athletics. This floor is located in Leaverton Hall.
