Housing

Hendrix is a residential community providing residence halls and dining services in the belief that shared living experiences promote an effective context for the type of educational program to which Hendrix is devoted.

The residence halls and houses provide a comfortable atmosphere for students to study, interact socially, and rest. Within the residence halls, students share with and learn from one another. The exchange of ideas and information is an important aspect of the educational process. Here students meet new people, gain new ideas, and develop life-long friendships, and learn to live within a responsible community.

The Hendrix College campus offers several housing options: six traditional residence halls (two for men, three for women, and one coeducational facility), six smaller on-campus houses with suite style living arrangements, a language house, and two apartment complexes adjacent to the campus. Under the direction of the Director of Housing and Residence Life, the live-in staff includes two Area Coordinators, and 34 Resident Assistants, and two Apartment Coordinators. Resident Assistants are returning students who have been trained to advise students on academic and social issues, coordinate social and educational programs, respond to policy violations, and report maintenance needs of facilities.

Each hall and house has lounge facilities for relaxation and social purposes. Visitation and quiet hours are established within each residence hall at the beginning of each academic year. Students who live in College housing are expected to familiarize themselves with all current policies and procedures, which are located on the Hendrix College homepage (www.hendrix.edu). Violation of community standards and policies is cause for disciplinary action.

Because Hendrix College is a residential college, all students are required to live in college residence facilities. Permission to live off campus must be requested and is granted on a very limited basis. Any exceptions to the on-campus requirement must be granted by the Director of Housing and Residence Life. Exceptions are determined on a yearly basis.
