STUDENT RESIDENTIAL LIFE
Agnew Hall 114, 628-4245
www.fhsu.edu/reslife
The Residential Life system of the University is designed around two primary program objectives: (1) empowering the new student to make a successful intellectual and social transition to college life; and, (2) offering students a broad range of on-campus lifestyle options.

Each unmarried student who enrolls within one year following the date their class graduates from high school is required to live in a University residence hall, a sorority or fraternity house, or in the home of their parent or legal guardian during their first year of enrollment. This policy is based upon decades of research, which indicates that when a student lives in University housing they are more likely to succeed academically, master the University culture and graduate on time. An on campus address provides a vital, supportive setting for personal interaction with other students, faculty and staff, as well as exposure to new ideas and differing attitudes, opinions and lifestyles.

Students who continue to live on campus after their freshman year have the option of choosing either an apartment or a co-ed residence hall. The new, Stadium Place Apartments and the renovated, Wooster Place Apartments are both available to any student enrolling after the completion of their freshman year. Agnew is the usual choice for upper-classmen who select the residence hall option.
