The advantages of residential living
Residence Life promotes both academic and personal success by
maintaining a safe, supportive, and diverse living-learning community.
Valuing the diversity of students on our campus, we embrace all of the
people who make this community Barton.
An important part of the college experience is living in a residence hall.
There are five residence halls at Barton College. Four of the halls are co-ed
(men and women living in the building, but on different floors or in
separate suites).
Because the residential experience is so valuable, Barton College requires
all freshmen and sophomores to live on campus. In general, students who
live in a residence hall earn higher grades, are more satisfied with college,
and participate in more college activities. Naturally, the development of
friendships is another reason for living on campus.
Our residence halls provide a comfortable living and learning environment
so that each student will have a place to call home.
Why residential living is for you
Each residence hall is composed of students from a variety of geographic
locations, belief systems, and backgrounds. Residents will have the
opportunity to become actively engaged with other students who have
different academic majors, grade classifications, ethnic backgrounds, and
extracurricular interests. Futhermore, living in a residence hall offers a
stimulating living-learning environment for students.
The small community atmosphere allows students the chance to establish
a sense of pride and common purpose. After being assigned to a residence
hall, students are connected with that community throughout their
undergraduate years. Students, staff, and faculty establish enduring
friendships through the experience.
The residential college develops traditions and lasting bonds that students
feel a part of years after graduation.
Residence life staff
The professional Residence Life staff members include the Director of
Residence Life, Assistant Director of Residence Life, and two Area Directors.
The Area Directors are live-in professionals who hold a minimum of a
baccaulaureate degree and have experience in higher education, social
programming, and counseling residents.
The student staff (Resident Assistants) are Barton College leaders. There is
one Resident Assistant (RA) assigned to each residence hall floor. In addition
to living in the hall on the floor with the residents, the RA offers educational
and social programs, peer counseling / referral agent, and conflict mediation.
