At
Rockhurst University, a residence hall is more than
just a place to live. It is a place to learn. By living
and interacting with diverse types of people, you'll
take your education beyond the classroom. In your
community, other residents may be facing the same
challenges as you with new teachers, new classes, new subjects,
and new adjustments. Many of these people will become
your friends and a support group in times of need.
Living at Rockhurst will make you feel like part of
the campus community.
Research supports the fact that living
on campus increases your chances of academic success.
Rockhurst University is dedicated to helping students
fulfill their potential, both in and out of the classroom.
Students have indicated that they are more likely
to use resources available on campus when they live
in the halls. By utilizing the learning center, library
and career services, students increase their chance
of academic success. In the end, the friends you make
by living in the halls will be the friends you keep.
By living in a supportive community, you'll have a
network of support to help you succeed in the challenges
that lay ahead.
