Of the many changes you will encounter as you make the transition to college life, perhaps the most significant one involves moving away from home and into a community of your peers. Although living on campus might feel strange and perhaps even frightening at first, it will also prove to be a rewarding experience. Indeed, living on campus plays an integral role in your liberal arts education. As a member of a community of scholars, you will learn to balance individual freedom with community responsibility and to respect and appreciate individual differences. You will also have the opportunity to become involved with a number of social, educational, and community service programs and activities.
Most of all campus life is lot of fun! During your time on campus you might get together with classmates for a pre-test study session, play host to trick-or-treaters, go to a pre-game bonfire, or make a 3 a.m. Taco Bell run. You'll also make life-long friends.
McKendree has five residence hall facilities: Baker Hall, Barnett Hall, Walton Hall, the Suites and the McKendree West apartments. Typically freshman students live in Baker, Barnett, Walton, and the Suites while McKendree West is reserved for upperclassmen students in good standing with the college. Returning students sign up for housing each Spring. The housing application process involves signing a binding contract for the entire academic year. It is important for students to read all of the terms of the housing contract carefully, since the contract enumerates specific rights and responsibilities.
