Geneva College - Campus Housing

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

Campus dormitories are the only housing allowed for students unless you are a senior and meet stringent guidelines. Campus housing has a list of policies that are taken seriously by the RAs and the Resident Director in every dorm or apartment. The majority of the time, if you are caught breaking a policy, there will be some form of repercussion. These policies include violating open hours (dorm visiting hours for the opposite sex), drinking, smoking, or drug use. The strictness of the staff is unfortunate for those who violate policy, but it is something that comes with attending a Reformed Presbyterian school. These policies at least keep Geneva a comfortable and safe place to live. Occasionally, the College opens up a house for upperclassmen to live in because of the lack of on-campus housing. But this is hit or miss.

Besides the policies, the facilities are above average. The biggest perk to living on campus at Geneva is the free laundry facilities in every dorm and apartment. Also, Geneva recently remodeled Clarke and Pierce, and the apartments are maintained well. If there ever is a problem, usually your RA will turn in a work order to Physical Plant (campus maintenance) and they handle it in a timely fashion. Memorial and McKee are the best dorms because they offer the traditional stone masonry that is attractive in liberal arts schools. However, Pierce and Clarke are just as good on the inside (they just don’t have the aesthetic majesty of the others). As far as the apartments, Young and Arms are the same.

Memorial or McKee are probably the best dorms on campus, while Pierce and Clarke are the worst. Regardless of what dorm you wind up living it, as long as you make the most of it, your experience will be great. 12345 Campus Housing Report

The residencies are adequate.... The residencies are adequate. Geneva supports three types of residences. The first of these is dormitory-style, with two individuals per room and, usually, with a common bathroom for each floor. Although, McKee has two rooms that have bathrooms connecting them. The second residency is apartment-style with four- and six-person living quarters. The final type of residency is off campus, but this option is only available to senior students and is on an application basis. 12345 Campus Housing Report

Facts

Did You Know?

All incoming freshmen are enrolled in an ongoing Learning and Transition Class (L&T). The one credit class is part of the core curriculum and meets in a small-group setting for the first 10 weeks of the semester. The class covers issues related to worldview, spiritual development, self-assessment of learning style, time management, community standards, campus policies, procedures and services, multicultural awareness, career development process, critical thinking, and sexuality—basically everything you’ll ever need to know about being in college.
