Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

A college dorm usually conjures up an image of a small,cramped cinder-block room. La Roche’s dorm rooms break that mold. They are spacious, fully furnished, carpeted, and equipped with private bathrooms and plenty of closet space. The air conditioning and heating in each room is student-controlled. High-speed Internet access and cable TV services are provided—students just have to bring a computer and television. All of the dorms are located on the East Campus, making it easy to get to and from classes. On the negative side, the poor overhead lighting adds a touch of a prison-like feeling, but students are welcome to bring their own lamps to avoid feeling institutionalized. Also, the residents here often complain that the walls are too thin and that you can hear everything that goes on in a neighboring room, which is especially annoying when trying to study or sleep.
 

There is a “no sex on campus” policy instituted due to the College’s Roman Catholic affiliation, and students of the opposite sex are not allowed in one another’s rooms after 2 a.m. Not to worry though—not too many people get caught breaking this rule. Generally speaking, students at La Roche enjoy the on-campus housing, and most are very happy they decided to reside on campus.

It's Alright, I Suppose.

One benefit to the on-campus housing is that each dorm room has a private bathroom. It's nice to not have to share a shower and a toilet with your whole floor. They say they have individual heating/cooling, but what they should say is that there's a thermostat on the wall for decoration purposes only. The rooms are either too hot or too cold. If you expect to sleep at night, you'd better not live in Bold Hall, because people run through the hallways and pound on random doors at all hours of the night. The lower floors seem to be okay, though.

Living on Campus Is a Must

Living on campus is a must for those wanting an experience living on their own. Yes, at times roomates can be crappy, but other then that, having a room with a bathroom in it really appeals to lots of students, also rooms are more spacious then other colleges. Social atmostphere is friendly, although it can get rowdy at times. The only downside is that the walls are very thin so you can hear what's going on in the room next door. Just one word of advice: Don't room with your best friend from high school, that can be disasterous, and if you have roomate problems, talk to Residence Life or your RA about it, or switch roomates.
