Community Life

There's nothing like living on campus. You'll stay close to the action! Better than that, though, are the friendships you'll make, the diverse cultural and geographical backgrounds you'll learn about, and the sense of belonging you'll feel as a member of a tight-knit college community. Here is some additional information about what it is like to live in the King College community.

Life in the Residence Hall

You have a good idea that your room will be your home away from home. It will be where you sleep, get ready in the mornings and study. But, you are probably wondering, "What is life in the residence halls really like?"

There is not a single answer because everyone has a different experience. You can count on being surrounded by a group of people who will share some of the best times of your college experience. You'll find it is the friendships you make, the people you meet, and the unexpected "adventures" is what makes living in the residence halls so much fun.

Here are some of the experiences you have to look forward to when you live in a residence hall:

  • Participate in Residence Hall programs (yes, these are really fun!). Designed to be both fun and informative, Residence Hall programs build a sense of community and friendship within the hall.
  • Developing mutual respect with people who are different from you.
  • Leaving your door open so friends can come by for an unexpected visit.
  • Running to friends' room in your pajamas to ask for advice or help with an assignment.
  • Borrowing milk for your cereal when you've run out.
  • Sharing a late-night pizza and movie.
