The Office of Residential Life strives to provide a safe and supportive residential environment that complements and extends the educational experience of students. Student-centered programs and services are developed and implemented with an emphasis on holistic individual and community development, student leadership, individual responsibility, advocacy of academic inquiry, and freedom of thought, opinion, and expression in the spirit of mutual respect. These are the hallmarks of the Carleton residential experience and provide the essential foundation for a quality liberal arts education within a diverse and dynamic community.
Have your student reach out to their Resident Assistant (RA). These upper-class students help provide opportunities in the residence halls in areas such as interpersonal communication, organization and time management, conflict mediation, and leadership development. They also play a primary role in developing social and educational programs and serve as peer advisors and campus resources.
These student leaders are the first people your student should contact with a concern about anything related to their residential experience. If they do not know who this is, they can find out through Res Life.
