Belhaven College
understands the value of a living/learning environment. Residence halls enhance
this environment by offering many benefits to resident students. Resident
students get more out of their college experience due to their close proximity
to campus resources, their involvement in campus activities, and the
relationships they build on campus. In fact, studies have shown that resident
students are more satisfied with their college experience and that they graduate
at significantly higher rates than other students.
Because Belhaven places such high value on the contribution of residence halls to the college experience, all full-time freshmen are required to live on campus. Exceptions are made for those who are married, over the age of twenty-one, and those who live off campus with their parents.
The primary goal of the Residence Life program is to provide students with a framework of expectations and guidance in the context of community for the purpose of enabling students to make wise life choices. Resident Directors and Resident Assistants are in place not only to enforce policies and hold students accountable, but also to model wise living and to extend compassion, insight, and Christian love to those same students.
