Residence Life

The Office of Residence Life strives to provide a living environment that enhances learning and personal development outside of the classroom. Residential communities lead to the development of life skills, leadership skills, and a holistic educational experience. Residence Life staff members, both professional and paraprofessional, are educators who seek to create a community where students mature personally and academically. Living in a residence hall offers opportunities for involvement in campus activities, access to academic support, personal growth, leadership development, life skills, interaction with campus leaders, independence, and fun.

College of Idaho residents have access to four very different living environments: four traditional residence halls, two apartment buildings, three suite-style buildings, and a limited number of rental houses. To facilitate a strong and dynamic campus community, College of Idaho students who are not yet 21, who are unmarried, and who do not have dependent children live in campus housing for six semesters.
