Experiential Living Opportunities (ELOs)
We provide distinctive experiential living opportunities that promote personal growth and development within a residential setting. These experiences are built around shared values and are designed for students seeking connections with peers who have similar interests or backgrounds. Some living arrangements involve a contractual agreement to maintain community standards and peer accountability, with specific participation expectations, such as Substance-Free Housing and Women鈥檚 Leadership Housing. For those interested in the Pride floor section in Hoover House, an additional application is required. You can find applications and more details about each unique living opportunity on our Experiential Living Opportunities website. Please refer to the timeline below for important deadlines related to these processes.
