Campus Resources

A “Living Education”

Life in the Residence Halls is an exciting aspect of your “living education” at Beloit.

You will meet students from all over the country and the world. Community in the halls is based on mutual respect for the rights, opinions, feelings, and beliefs of others.

Through hall programming and college activities, we expect you will learn about new ideas, challenge you in various ways, and ultimately make lifelong friendships. Students strengthen their interpersonal skills, enhance their participant and leadership skills, and learn to appreciate the variety of thoughts, cultures, and lifestyles present on campus.
