COMMUNITAS
One-third of 草榴社区's first-year students choose COMMUNITAS living and learning communities, which offer the opportunity to thrive through meaningful conversation and intentional community-building inside and outside the classroom. Students who select COMMUNITAS:
- Live together in community in a residence hall on South Campus.
- Are enrolled in a one-credit Communitas course designed around a specific theme that meets weekly throughout the first year.
- Take an Augustine and Culture Seminar (ACS) class designed specifically for Communitas with the same students from your theme.
HOUSING GUARANTEE
Students who are admitted to the University as a 鈥渞esident鈥� are guaranteed three consecutive years (six consecutive semesters) of on-campus housing, beginning with the Fall semester of the academic year of their admission. Students who forego a semester(s) of housing for any reason (i.e. participation in a study abroad or internship program, deferred acceptance) are not guaranteed an additional semester(s) of housing in their fourth year.
Housing for a fourth year is not guaranteed, except to students who are admitted to the University with Presidential or certain scholarships that specifically guarantee a fourth year of housing. There is an annual housing lottery for seniors interested in on-campus housing. On-campus housing is limited, and typically, housing is available for one-third of the senior class.
