Students who live in campus residence halls typically find their college years more satisfying, are less likely to drop out, and often perform better academically than off-campus students. Living on campus also provides a student with extensive interaction with other students, and numerous opportunities to examine new ideas and values. Interpersonal skills and lifetime friendships can be developed. SERVICES LCSC provides living accommodations for students in three residence hall environments. The residence halls are relatively small which contributes to a more personal environment and greater opportunity for involvement. All facilities have easy access to the Student Union Building, food service facility, library and are within a short walk to any classroom building on campus. The residence halls are staffed with professional and paraprofessional staff. Extensive training is provided for the residence life staff in an effort to educate them with the skills necessary to relate well with students, to set a positive climate and to assist students in developing the kinds of programming that meet their needs.
