LIVE AND LEARN: IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF LIFE ON CAMPUS Residents come of age in their livingrlearning come munity. The six houses on campus e Dobry, Entwood, Lorien, Numenor. Rivendell and Rohan e are designed to enrich the residents' col- lege experience. As five of the houses are co-ed, men and women live together in the same house, but on dif- ferent floors with separate bathroom facilities. Living with fifty other people for nine months enables resi- dents to share back- grounds, beliefs and ideas with each other, thus en- hancing their education. Lasting freindships and ac- tive participation are cru- cial to the development of this community. In the years to come, as students reflect on their residence hall experiences, they will realize that their social. academic and leadership skills were shaped at C58.
