Housing Over Break Policy

Housing over Break

For all breaks, the residence halls close. These breaks include Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, and Spring Break. In the event of extenuating circumstances, residents may obtain permission to remain on campus during closure from the Office of Residence Life. Such a request is completed utilizing the 'Request to Stay' form sent by Residence Life via email before the break. Requests will be reviewed case by case on the following basis:

  • Athletic requirements with Hilbert College athletics
  • Mileage: consideration is given to those whose permanent address is outside 150 miles of the college
  • Verification of a local job or internship with the inability to commute from a permanent address
  • On-campus job or work-study
  • Conduct review: Those with 3 or more priors in the current academic year, on probation, or history of verbal or physical violence will be denied.
  • Homelessness, family concerns, or mental health reasons - in these cases a review will be requested with college staff to ensure appropriate resources are available for the student's safety and well-being. 

Failure to comply with break housing policies could result in community standards proceedings or fines.

Living on Campus

Our living-learning communities provide you with a safe living experience enriched in activities and opportunities to gain/enhance relationships and develop independence. 

We pride ourselves on providing one of the best residential experiences along with inclusive dining programs. 

 


Academic Support
Convenience

Worry-Free

Social Life

 

Academic Support
When you’re surrounded by fellow students, you have the opportunity to collaborate and learn from each other. Many of the people you hall with may be in the same classes you’re in, or have taken them before. Friends can be a tremendous academic resource and being able to pop into the room next door to ask a question is unrivaled.

Convenience
Between school, work, and sleep deprivation, the last thing anyone wants to worry about the commute to campus. This is even more important to underclassmen, who are adapting to an independent life style – so living right where you take classes can be a huge help. Proximity also makes it easier to be involved with clubs, sports and everything else that goes on here at Hilbert. 

Worry-Free
Not ready to worry about all the maintenance, utilities, groceries, and responsibilities that often comes with living on your own? On campus, it’s all taken care of for you.

Social Life
Many of our students form lasting friendships that they stick with through the rest of college starting in their freshmen residence hall. Living on campus provides a tight-knit community of people that includes myriads of opportunities for expansion.

Living with a diverse group of people also expands your social knowledge outside of the classroom. You have a chance to get to know students from all over the country and people with incredibly varied life experiences.

Some key highlights of living on campus include:

  • Intentional, engaged staff, which includes Resident Assistants, Office Assistants to distribute mail, and our two Professional live-in staff members and leadership team within Student Life. 
  • Frequent programming activities with quality content rooted in our Franciscan values 
  • Late night and weekend programming: Hawks Take Flight, off-campus programming services, pop-up programs during RA duty hours, and celebratory dances including Homecoming's Blue, Black and White, and Glowmageddon (hyper glow). 
  • All-you-can-eat meal plans for traditional-style housing
  • On-campus coffee shop (78 West) with friendly staff to assist in your refreshment needs
  • Access to quality resources including on-campus counseling, wellness center, academic support, career development, and more!

Housing Amenities

  • Free washer and dryer facilities.
  • Free and accessible parking
  • Wireless and land line internet access for computers in all rooms.

  • Common area with kitchen facilities and two shared bathrooms in each unit.

Dining

Our dining hall on campus provides social interaction with your classmates, whether you choose to eat, hang out, take study breaks, or just relax. Our staff provides delicious food in the comfort and convenience of a newly remodeled atmosphere designed for students.
