All residence halls on campus have quiet hours, but in Quiet Living, all sounds are kept to a minimum 24 hours per day. Quiet Living is designed for students who prefer a quieter living community and wish to live and study in a peaceful and serene environment. By choosing to reside in Quiet Living, students will live in a unique environment where each member of the community agrees to support an atmosphere which is conducive to sleep and study at all times during the day and night. Additionally, each person agrees to confront other students if that environment is not being supported at any time. If my student is found to disrupt this environment during the course of the academic year, the individual may be required to move from Quiet Living to another residence hall on campus. Quiet Living is available to sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
