College housing experience
Residence life refers to the programs, services, and community aspects of living in college or university housing.
It encompasses everything from dormitory rules and roommate assignments to social events and resident advisors.
Campus administrators use the term to describe student living as a holistic experience: The Office of Residence Life handles housing complaints.
Students encounter it mainly through orientations and policy documents.
