| Frequently Asked Questions
(Upperclassman)
Do
I still have to live on campus if I am a 5th year senior?
No, there is only a four year live-on requirement.
What if I am a commuter?
Do I have to live on campus?
No, the commuter policy is not changing.
What if I already live off-campus?
Will I have to move back on?
No, students who already live off campus may remain
off.
What if I have extenuating
circumstances? Do I still have to live on campus?
There is a housing committee consisting of administrators,
faculty, and students who will be the final say in any
appeals to move off campus. Appeal forms can be picked
up in the Student Life Office, Caine 223 and must be
submitted by March 7, 2007 to be considered for fall
semester.
Who will get squatter’s
rights?
Students currently living in Deans and Estes halls and
in the College View Apartments will have squatter’s
rights.
How will the lottery work?
The lottery will consist of all rooms, apartments, and
singles not occupied by freshman and squatters. The
lottery will be based on class year. Higher demand housing
such as College View apartments and Theme Houses will
be filled first.
Will there be substance free
living for upperclassmen next year?
Yes, there will be substance free living for upperclassmen.
A survey will be conducted in January to see how many
students would like substance free housing, and then
a location will be picked based on availability and
need.
I currently live in the quad
and am use to a very different environment than north
campus? Where should I live? What will it be like?
One option is Cargo hall, which is currently being renovated.
The renovations include newly painted and carpeted rooms,
computer labs in the building, and a TV room and game
room in the basement. The game room will have pool tables,
air hockey, ping pong, electronic dart boards, and foosball.
There will also be an area with a big screen TV that
will not only have regular cable, but several movie
and sports channels as well. These areas will be for
the use of all residents and registered social events
will be permitted. Second floor Cargo will also be co-ed.
What does co-ed mean for
Cargo? Aren’t all the halls co-ed?
Most halls are co-ed by floor. Cargo’s second
floor main hallway will alternate every other room male,
then female.
Is it true that there will
be a bowling alley in Cargo?
A bowling alley in Cargo was one of the ideas being
looked at. However, a suggestion box was put out in
Caine and many students commented that they were opposed
to having bowling lanes in the dorms, so that idea will
not be carried out.
What’s theme housing?
The Theme Housing Program at Adrian College is intended
to provide a unique living/learning experience of exploring
an academic area of interest for students. The group
of students living in Theme Housing will be self-directed
through the use of goal setting, programming, and a
theme housing contract. All theme housing will be single
sex housing. Applications are available in the Student
Life Office, Caine, 223.
What’s happening with
Pellowe hall?
Pellowe hall is currently being completely gutted and
renovated into 74 single rooms with their own bathroom.
The hall will also be air-conditioned, and will have
an elevator.
What are in-hall apartments?
Currently each residence hall has an in-hall apartment
where the Resident Director (RD) lives. Beginning next
fall, north campus will no longer be staffed with RD’s,
so those apartments will be available to students. Each
apartment has a bedroom, living room, bathroom and kitchen
area. These apartments will have two students living
in each.
Why were Resident Director
and Greek Assistant positions cut for next year? Although
the freshman quad will be staffed with one hall director
per building, upperclassmen housing will not. This was
done to bring the staff student ratio closer to that
of our peer schools, and ultimately to give more independence
to upperclassmen and Greeks. All upperclassmen buildings
will still have 2 to 3 RA staff members.
When will we know the ‘07-‘08
prices for different housing options that will be available?
The prices are set by the Adrian College Board of Trustees
at the February 17, 2007 meeting.
If I won’t be able
to live in my current room next year in the quad or
Jarvis, will I receive any priority over available rooms
on campus?
Yes, students in Jarvis and the Quad will be given priority
over available residence hall rooms throughout the rest
of campus.
What buildings will be handicap
accessible for upper-class students?
Cargo will remain a handicap accessible building. Additionally,
the newly renovated Pellowe Hall will have six barrier
free rooms and an elevator.
