Campus Life: Residential Life
College is a 24-hour-a-day experience, especially for the 80 percent of our students who live on campus. Several of our residence halls contain seminar rooms, faculty offices, or faculty apartments.
The synergy and spontaneity of a living and learning environment enhances your academic experience. It increases opportunities to see faculty outside the classroom and to join in team projects and campus activities. It means you will quickly feel part of a larger community, make friends and form relationships that will last beyond your college years.
Campus buildings are within a five- or ten-minute walk of each other. A U.S. Department of Education book cites Susquehanna's safety programs as an example of good campus security. The campus is well lit and an escort service is available. It's also just a few blocks from downtown Selinsgrove, the town that we call home.
TEN+ SU LIVING OPTIONS
- Smith: A first-year residence with a new lounge.
- North: This one is co-ed and close to the Children's Center.
- Hassinger: First-year hall near the Library with football field view.
- Aikens and Reed: Home to assorted sophomores, juniors and seniors and a few freshmen.
- West: The hall on the hill, overlooks soccer and baseball fields.
- Project Houses: You can live with a group of students who share the same zest for volunteering.
- Seibert Hall: Greek columns, two-story suites and a sunny atrium make this a popular Project House choice.
- Scholars' House: Serious projects and off-the-wall fun.
- Sassafras housing complex: Suites with adjoining kitchens and common areas for upperclassmen.
- Houses on "the Ave.": "Almost" off-campus, with a short walk to classes.
- Fraternity or sorority houses: About 25 percent of our students join Greek social groups and about 10 percent live in the Greek houses on-campus or on the Ave.
- Off-campus apartments/houses: (For some seniors, selected through a campus lottery.) You wash the dishes and pay the bills, but it's a great way to prepare yourself for the "real world."
- Way off-campus: Like maybe a flat in London for juniors in the Sigmund Weis School of Business London Program.
