Summer Food Options

The dining hall will be open for most of the summer.  You can pay at the door for your meals, making it easy to only pay for the meals you are on campus.  Caroline has a small kitchen, so please plan on eating in the dining hall over the summer.

Gender inclusive housing is a housing option offered in all suite style halls in which any students, regardless of gender, may choose to share the same room or suite. The Hills offers traditional style housing with mixed gender floors. It is up to the student to notify their parents or guardian of the preference to live in gender inclusive housing.

Returning students may choose a gender inclusive housing arrangement during room selection. When possible, incoming students are assigned according to their answer to the preferred roommate gender question on their housing application. If a roommate assignment is unsuccessful, the Area Coordinator can facilitate a room change.

No student will be assigned to a gender inclusive living situation without their consent. Due to the nature of the room selection, genders might be mixed unplanned. Residential Life staff swap those assignments to meet the gender requirements of the residents after room selection to ensure all students are housed in a suite of their gender preference.

Suitemate/Roommates

Although staff are not concerned why students wish to live together, it is strongly discouraged for any student of any sexual orientation to live with someone they are in a close personal relationship with (i.e. dating). Experience consistently shows a negative outcome and it is highly inadvisable.

Vacancy

Should a vacancy occur in a gender inclusive suite:

 students may be assigned a student seeking gender inclusive housing (who may be unknown to the suite residents),
