Dear Seattle U Student,
On behalf of the entire staff team in Housing & Residence Life (HRL) WELCOME to living on campus at Seattle University! I wholeheartedly believe one of the most important decisions a college student will make after deciding their college choice is where they are going to live on campus. Whether you are new to Seattle U or returning for another year, all of us on campus and in HRL are thrilled you are here and a member of this important community.
When transitioning to living on campus, one of the most common questions is, “Will I make friends with others in the hall?“ All of us in Housing & Residence Life (HRL) at Seattle U are committed to investing in you and supporting you in your personal, academic, and future endeavors. We want you to have a safe, positive, productive, and memorable time living on campus and in community on our amazing campus filled with caring people, fun and meaningful traditions, and a plethora of resources. We ask that you open your minds and hearts to participating often in experiences within your residential community and on campus. Every effort is in place to help you make friends, know about and be able to access a variety of important resources, create positive and long-lasting memories of your time living on campus, and hone a variety of skills for a lifetime.
Whenever you have questions about your residence hall experience, you are strongly encouraged to connect with your Resident Assistant (RA), Area Coordinator (AC), Assistant Area Coordinator (AAC), or the Housing and Residence Life (HRL) Central Office Team at (206) 296-6305 – Campion Hall, Room 100. Additionally, the HRL website can be found at: https://www.seattleu.edu/housing/. We are here to help and are happy to answer your questions.
My hope is you will find living on campus at Seattle U to be an exciting and enriching part of your college experience. You will meet and make friends that will last your lifetime. You will become acquainted with people from different backgrounds. You will deepen skills that will benefit you, others, and the world at large as you go forward. You will have endless opportunities to get involved in programs and activities that will augment your academic pursuits, contribute to your learning and personal development, and challenge your thinking in ways that will positively impact others and the world.
Take full advantage of the many opportunities afforded to you at Seattle U! I strongly encourage you to become involved in floor and hall activities or join your own hall council. With more than 200 student clubs and organizations – there is a “place” for every student whatever your interests might be.
Welcome Home & My Very Best to You!
