Central Connecticut State University welcomes you to our Residential Life program. As a member of the "Blue Devil family," you will find that living within the residence halls provides a home away from home atmosphere.
The life of a Central student involves much more than academic instruction and achievement. Although the above are essential to fulfill your academic and /or professional pursuits, the Department of Residence Life endeavors to help you to develop skills beyond the classroom. At Central, students can acquire a vast knowledge in academics as well as develop leadership, social and communication skills by getting involved in campus activities and organizations. Students discover the essence of "living/learning" communities that exist in the residence halls and the ability for personal and academic growth to occur outside of the traditional academic environment. The Department of Residence Life takes pride in the encouragement of student involvement, the flexibility to offer continuous learning in informal settings, and the promotion of social interaction and personal growth. We invite you to join your hall council or other student organizations in order for you to learn how you can become a contributor within your new community.
Students find that living on campus is the best way to maintain their academics and utilize campus resources. Everything is at your fingertips and being a part of the residential community provides you with more access to the campus and relieves the stress of commuting. This guidebook will also serve as an essential tool for you to use during your college years and we encourage you to refer to this for questions that you may have.
We hope that you will find being a part of the on-campus living experience will provide you with fond memories that will last a lifetime!
