Student Life

Community Life

The common life at the College is directed in a way that is appropriate for young, maturing college students. Each aspect of a student's life at the College is directed toward the benefit of both the common good and the personal growth of each student. The young man or woman who enrolls at the College can expect guidance and direction from the faculty and staff.

The governing principles and the objectives of the common life are manifest throughout the campus. In the classroom, respect for each person and the vigorous pursuit of the truth is expected. At social activities, all are welcome to participate, and students can grow in virtue while enjoying each other's company. In the dining room, good manners and service to one's neighbors are practiced. In the dormitories, cleanliness and order are maintained and good study habits are promoted. Overall, true and lasting friendships are fostered and a solid academic education can be obtained.

Campus Service

The Campus Service Program is an activity in which every student participates. It develops personal responsibility, leadership qualities, and generous service in a student through a variety of practical tasks. By working in the Dining Room, Kitchen, Administration Office, or Library, or by helping to maintain the physical facilities, students have the opportunity to contribute to the upkeep of the campus and to develop practical skills. The Campus Service Program also minimizes operating costs, permitting the room and board fees to be more affordable.
