Living at Lehigh

Living on campus is an integral part of you learning experience at Lehigh. For most students, living at college is a time of firsts: your first time living away from home and your first time having a roommate. Many of those firsts can be very challenging, but it is meeting those new challenges that make living on campus so rewarding.
Options for Living in the Residence Halls:

• See the Residential Services Website for detailed information about all residence halls.
• First-year students can live in CHOICE (substance free), Live, Learn, Serve, UMOJA, or South Mountain College communities as well as traditional residence halls.
• All upper class students have the opportunity to live in the Live Lehigh! living learning communities; as well as traditional rooms, suites and apartments.

Benefits to living on campus:

• The community that will develop between you and your hall mates.
• Studies have shown that students who live on campus do better academically, become more involved, and have an overall more satisfying college experience than those who live off campus.
• There are supportive staff members found in each residence hall.
• Gryphons: students charged with serving as a mentor and resource, and building a safe and inclusive community in the residence hall.
• Assistant Directors for Residence Life:  professional staff members who live in the hall and oversee the Gryphon staff.
• Students who live on campus are never short on activities in which to participate. Inside their residence hall, the House Council and Gryphon staffs will plan and facilitate a number of fun and educational programs. Outside of the halls, there are a number of exciting and entertaining programs put on by Late Night Lamberton and the Office of Student Activities/University Productions.
