Community Life
Huntington University strives to create and promote an
atmosphere that will encourage students to develop the highest
attainable degree of maturity within the framework of an
evangelical Christian faith. Regulations for conduct, as set
forth in the Student Handbook, have been established in the
light of this objective.
The primary obligation of all students is to live as responsible
members of a Christian community, seeking to live up to
their own ideals as they themselves grow personally, morally
and spiritually. The Christian life is primarily positive rather
than negative; creative, loving service to others is far more
important than adherence to a list of detailed prohibitions.
However, the University feels that a few specific prohibitions
are necessary in the best interests of the student body
as a whole and in order to establish a wholesome atmosphere
on campus.
Gambling and the drinking of alcoholic beverages are not
permitted on or off campus; use of tobacco is not permitted on
the University campus or at University-sponsored activities
off campus. Social dancing (other than choreographed dramatic
productions, aerobic, square dance or that which is part
of classroom instruction) is not sponsored by the University.
Sincere Christians may differ on these matters, and no
condemnation is implied of those who take a different view.
However, students in accepting admission agree to govern
themselves by the regulations of the University, and even if
they personally do not regard these practices as moral issues,
they are bound by their agreement.
General Information
Residence Life
Huntington is a residential campus. The University views the
educational process as extending beyond the classroom, whereby
the residence hall program provides learning as well as
living environments which enhance the social and intellectual
development of students.
Six residence halls in three separate complexes house
students in modern and well-maintained facilities. Hardy Hall
for women and Wright Hall for men are more traditional residence
halls joined by a common lobby. Baker Hall for men
and women offers a suite arrangement where each floor has
three to four suites and each suite has four to five rooms.
Each suite shares a common bath and lounge. Roush Hall is
for women and offers a modified suite arrangement with two
rooms and a bath per suite. Meadows and Miller Halls are
upperclass residence halls for men and women that offer
a suite arrangement where each floor has a full kitchen.
Students who live in either Meadows or Miller Halls can
elect to be on a modified meal plan and do a substantial
