If you live in the Residence Halls, you’ll hear the word “community” a lot.<\/p>\n

Many floor members form close relationships, often with students very different from themselves and get involved in many activities together. When things are going well, the floor becomes like a family and the hall is like a neighborhood. The sense of community in the Residence Halls is only as strong as its members make it. Each member must contribute positively toward the sense of hall unity.<\/p>\n

FYRE<\/h2>\n

\"BobFYRE (First Year Residential Experience)<\/a> helps new freshmen students easily make new friends, share similar experiences and successfully transition to college life. Students live in double rooms on a floor in either Oak<\/a> or Tamarack Hall<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CAN<\/h2>\n

Residents living in Birch<\/a>, Linden<\/a>, Pine<\/a> or upper-division student floors in Oak<\/a> are automatically part of CAN.<\/p>\n
