Residence Life Department

215-885-2360 x 295

Office is located on the second floor of the Residence Hall, in St. Josaphat Hall. 
Office hours are posted on the office door.

Philosophy

The Residence Life Department embraces the philosophy of educating the total person, and the staff members within the Residence Hall are challenged to create an environment which is an educationally, culturally, spiritually and personally enriching experience for all residents. 

Thus, the Resident Coordinator (RC) and the Resident Assistant (RA) positions are vital within the College, as they involve direct contact with the resident students. The Resident Assistant (RA), the cornerstone of the hall to which he or she has been assigned, is an interested and trained individual who is available for counsel, support and encouragement.

Residence Life staff members strive to:

• Bring out individual identities and strengths
• Help students weather the inevitable changes in their values, ideas, maturity and intellectual achievement
• Work together to organize various learning experiences for the residents

 

Facility

The Residence Hall is co-ed, with single-sex living on each of the 3 floors. Each floor is equipped with kitchen, bathroom, and laundry facilities, as well as, lounges for socializing, featuring a color television and VCR, and study rooms equipped with computers, for use by students and their guests. The second floor boasts a lovely sun porch with outdoor furniture where students can socialize and relax without leaving the Residence Hall. 

Access to the Residence Hall is strictly regulated and is limited to residents,housekeeping and maintenance staff, security personnel, and guests. A list of students staying/living on campus is kept at the security desk. A security guard, located at the main entrance to the Residence Hall, monitors the entrance of visitors who sign-in and sign-out at the entrance desk.

International Students

International students who will be staying in the Residence Hall should refer to the section of the Student Handbook titled ”RESIDENCE LIFE” for further information.

The Manor College Student Life staff will be happy to assist all international students in obtaining information regarding:

• Social Security cards

• Off-campus housing (if you are not staying in the Residence Hall)

• Banking

• Shopping

• Any questions you may have

Questions regarding visas, immigration matters or Social Security Cards should be directed to the Dean of Admissions.

All international students residing in the Residence Hall are required to complete the International Student Absence Form prior to leaving the Residence Hall overnight (including holiday and semester breaks). If leaving the United States of America, a student must receive approval on their I-20 form from the Dean of Admissions prior to departure.

The International Student Absence Form may be obtained from the Residence Hall Coordinator or a RA. It must be returned to and signed by the Residence Hall Coordinator or a Residence Hall Assistant prior to leaving the Residence Hall.
