We firmly believe that your college education is more than classes, textbooks, and exams. It is growing and exploring through programs, activities, and the experience of living cooperatively with others. Because of this value on the residential aspect of your overall college education, Lewis & Clark requires first- and second-year students to live on campus.

Living in the residence halls ensures you will make friendships and memories that will last a lifetime, and your years here will be among the best in your life. You will broaden your social skills, cultural knowledge, and leadership

potential. Few other living situations expose you to so many points of view on almost any aspect of life. As is the case with your classroom experience, there will be tough times, but even these will ultimately be rewarding and prepare you well for future endeavors.

Since you will likely spend more time in your residence hall than anywhere else on campus--including classes--it is important that you get all of your questions answered before choosing where you will live. If, after wandering through our site, you need more information, please don't hesitate to contact us. General questions may be sent to reslife@lclark.edu. Hall-specific questions may be directed to the Resident Directors, whose e-mail addresses can be found on the the corresponding hall sections.
