Community Living

Welcome to Residence Life at Thomas University

Dear Resident,

Congratulations on choosing to join our community of learners. “Live, Learn and Grow” is the motto used to describe our vision of this community; a residential environment designed to support the social, educational, and personal development of all its members.

Residence Life reaches beyond having a safe, affordable, comfortable place to live on campus. It’s about the people you meet and the experiences students have as they go through the academic year together. The informal social, support network that forms between residents contributes to a rewarding and memorable experience. The student experience is further enhanced by a variety of programs offered by the Residence Assistants.

Residence brings the advantages of greater interaction with peers, faculty, student and learning services, and an increased level of social/extra curricular involvement resulting in an overall higher rate of student success. We invite students to take advantage of the opportunities, challenges and new experiences residence has to offer. If you need assistance contact the staff in the office or one of our many student leaders. Welcome to your new home.

THE MISSION & GOALS OF OUR OFFICE

We are committed to strengthening relationships among people. We support interaction that promotes awareness and understanding of the diversity that exists within and outside the University community. We encourage acceptance and appreciation of people regardless of race, gender, age, ethnicity, able bodiedness, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, or religious affiliation. We believe each person has worth and should be treated with dignity and respect. We encourage all people in our community to reach out to each other and develop positive relationships.
