Residence Life

Residence Life at Goldey-Beacom College extends and enriches the classroom experience. The focus of the Residence Life program is to create a satisfying group living experience, to create a productive sense of community, and to provide comfortable and convenient accommodations.

Congregate living may present problems and challenges even in a harmonious setting. The Residence Life experience at Goldey-Beacom College hopes to foster consideration, self-restraint, and sensible conflict resolution, with opportunities for growth and leadership within the campus and the community at large.

We are committed to energy and resource conservation. Energy conservation helps reduce the effects of global warming, acid rain and smog, and protects our natural resources. Water conservation is critical as well. It is with this in mind that we ask all students in the residence halls to be mindful of conserving these resources.

Residence Halls

The typical dorm room experience? Not at GBC! Each on-campus resident shares an apartment-style suite with four or five other students. Each suite includes at least one full bathroom as well as a kitchen, so you won’t have to share common areas with the entire residence hall!

All rooms are air-conditioned, include utilities and wireless internet access, as well as come fully-furnished. All residence halls are smoke-free.

Refer to the Residence Life section of the Student Handbook for Residence Life policies and other related information.
