Earlham isn\u2019t the kind of place where you\u2019ll socialize exclusively with students from your own major or make friends only with people from similar backgrounds. We work hard at creating a real community\u2014where people celebrate together, have fun together, cheer one another on at games and performances, offer support to those who need it and hold one another accountable when things go wrong. Those values are at the heart of how we live together, in residence halls and college houses, working together to make Earlham a good experience for everybody.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n
On-campus living in Earlham College\u2019s residence halls, apartments and houses has all you\u2019ll ever need in a college residential experience. In many ways, college is a new beginning\u2013a chance to meet new people, build relationships and re-define yourself as a person. The average college student spends twice as much time in their residence hall as they will in the classroom, and so choosing the right community to live in is an important decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Residential programs and services are what separate the on-campus living experience from an ordinary off-campus space. At Earlham College, we believe in the positive and long-lasting impact that an on-campus living experience has on our students. We know that learning does not just occur in the classroom, which is why we require all of our students to live on-campus–to balance their academic work with practical and social experience. Together, the Earlham College residential program complements the academic curriculum and provides structure for whole student development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
