Community Expectations

Residential living at Boston College is viewed as an integral part of the holistic development of students. Residence Hall communities are nurturing environments rooted in the Jesuit Catholic tradition, that emphasize spiritual, moral, personal, and intellectual growth and development. Students have the unique opportunity to interact with others from differing backgrounds, participate in service and social events, and define their role within a community.

Each student living in this community is responsible for being a proactive member adding to the overall college experience of others. Students are responsible for taking ownership in developing a safe and healthy living environment for all of its members.

Boston College students must remember that living on campus is a privilege. It is the students' responsibility to familiarize themselves, and abide by, all Residential Life and University policies as they relate to our community. These can be found in the Student Guide, safety regulations and the Residence Agreement contract you signed. By signing and returning the contract, you also agreed to the terms of the Conditions for Residency.

Questions regarding community expectations or Residential Life policies can be directed to your Resident Director, or to Brent Ericson, Assistant Director for Judicial Affairs, in the Office of Residential Life located on the second floor in 21 Campanell a Way, or by calling 617-552-3060.
