Residence Life

The residence life program of Houghton College offers many different types of living environments from traditional residence halls to townhouses to community living options. The residence life staff endeavors to provide opportunities for personal development through social, spiritual, and educational programming. It is also our goal to support the academic program of Houghton College by encouraging our living areas to be safe, well-maintained, healthy, and conducive to study.

It is our desire that the residential experience of Houghton students be a memorable and enjoyable part of the total educational process.
