The Office of 居住生活 believes we are welcoming our students home — Even if it’s their first year at Shenandoah.
每年, 多于1,000 Shenandoah students choose to live in one of the university’s 11 residence halls. Residence halls are divided by class rank. It is our priority that students live in a residential communities populated by their peers. Each residence hall is unique in both style and characteristics. Professional Area Coordinators (ACs), Graduate Hall Directors (GHDs), and student staff Resident Assistants (RAs) live in every hall and are there to provide an amazing, caring system of support for all residential students.
Living on campus is one of the most dynamic aspects of the college experience. Living on campus means quickly getting to classes and activities, 会见很多人, and having the opportunity to experience everything our campus has to offer. Living on campus helps students become more independent and prepares them for life after college. Research consistently shows that students who live on campus have better graduation rates, 更高的分数, and report a greater satisfaction with their collegiate experience.
Shenandoah students are required to maintain a full-time course load to live on campus.

We understand you may wish to change your room after you arrive. 居住生活 will begin taking room change requests on Sept. 9, two weeks after the start of classes.

Room changes are not typically granted until after a roommate mediation with a residence life staff member has occurred.
A Note on Roommate Assignments
If you are in a double room and do not currently have a roommate assigned, you should expect to receive a roommate. 居住生活 reserves the right to place a roommate in any double room at any time during the academic year. 另外, if at any point in the school year your roommate leaves, please expect that 居住生活 will place another resident into that bed. 居住生活 makes every effort to ensure high compatibility when assigning roommates.
