To all Residence Life Students – Housing & Dining Update
Greetings Statesmen!
We are excited that you have chosen to live on-campus at Richard Bland College of William & Mary. Living on-campus provides you many advantages, among them, easy accessibility to class and campus activities. We are committed to making your home away from home enjoyable, safe, and developmental.
Residence Life prides itself on creating an atmosphere that will foster community building, personal development, and that encourages eventual transfer to a 4-year institution. Living in our state-of-the-art residential facilities will be an exciting opportunity for growth. We encourage you to use your living experience to foster a sense of community and collaboration with your hall mates by becoming involved participants.
For some of you this will be your first opportunity to experience a community living environment. We would like to take time to remind all students that living on-campus comes with a great deal of joy and responsibility. Each person who lives and grows with us takes responsibility for their community and their individual success.
Sincerely,
Office of Residence Life
