Because being a
residential campus is central to the mission of Trinity University, all
unmarried undergraduate students are required to live on campus for three
years (six fall and spring semesters). Students who study abroad, transfer
in, or who stop attending the University and then re-enroll may qualify for
certain exceptions. Requests for exceptions should be directed to the
associate director of Residential Life. Trinity believes in living on campus because...
- When you choose Trinity University, you choose
to be active members of the Trinity University community.
- You learn outside of the classroom — to be
independent, to develop healthy relationships, to experiment with who you
are — all in a safe environment.
- You are surrounded by others dealing with similar
issues, creating a supportive campus environment.
- You enjoy a diverse community, where
roommates and others have various viewpoints, goals and styles, preparing
you for future relationships in a shrinking world, in careers and in your
personal relationships.
- You learn that you have responsibilities
as members of a larger community.
- You remain connected. Seniors off campus
often report that it is more difficult to come to campus to socialize,
study, and attend University events.
- You are more likely to stay in school than
those who reside off campus, according to national research.
- Some of that same research shows that
there are academic benefits to living on-campus versus
off-campus.
- The extreme personal growth, challenges and new
relationships generate memories that last a lifetime!
- You have a once in a lifetime opportunity
to live the college experience on campus!
- First year students will live in the
first year area and be participants in the very successful REAL LIFE and
Resident Mentor program.
- In the second year students will
graduate into the Sophomore College.
- The third year of the residency
requirement will afford students more autonomy. This process prepares
students who will soon transition to life outside of our residence
halls.
