Benedictine University maintains and operates residence halls as an integral part of academic life, as educational experiences are not solely contained in the classroom, laboratory or library. The residence halls provide an opportunity for students to combine academic life with social development. Students must establish and test their own values, develop social skills, determine priorities and learn to organize their time. Living on campus affords many opportunities, including the chance to make new friends and enjoy a variety of campus activities. Students who live on campus also have easier access to the library, classrooms, dining and athletic facilities, and avoid soaring gas prices and increasingly time-consuming commutes.
