Substance-free Floor (Rooms 5103-5114) 

The Substance-Free floor is a Community Based Living option. This floor is a co-ed community that boasts a supportive and healthy living option for students.  The residents who live in this area have agreed to abstain from the use of alcoholic beverages while on the floor; refrain from bringing these substances onto the floor; and pledge not to return to the floor under the influence of these substances.  By choosing to live on the Substance-free Floor, you choose to participate in a substance-free lifestyle.  

Quiet Floor (Rooms 6203-6212)    

The Quiet Floor is intended for students who are interested in living in a quiet residence. There is a 24-hour quiet hour policy, which stipulates that noise should be kept to a minimum level and not be heard outside of students' rooms. Students on the floor agree to not to engage in activities in the hallway that would generate noise and be disruptive to other residents. Upon arrival, you will be required to sign a contract agreeing to these provisions.
