Student Life 

Welcome to Living Learning at SJU!  The Office of Residence Life believes that our residences are more than just rooms.  We know that students experience a great many things in the residence halls and we want our buildings to be vibrant environments for student learning and development.  We see educational opportunities all around us in the residence halls; from the fantastic programming our Resident Assistants offer to the life skills students can learn in successfully navigating a roommate conflict.  Residence Life  is proud to support the academic mission of Saint Joseph's University, most specifically through our Living Learning efforts which include residential Learning Communities and co-sponsored faculty programming.

The goals of Living Learning are simple but meaningful: to create educational environments and opportunities in the residence halls and to develop mentoring and personal connections between faculty, staff, administrators, and students outside the classroom.  Students can take advantage of Living Learning opportunities by simply attending an RA-faculty program in the residence halls or by becoming formally involved in a structured residential Learning Community.  

Using the links to the right, please learn more information about becoming involved in our residential Learning Communities and look through some of our past faculty programming in the residence halls.  Current students can apply for one of the Upperclassmen Learning Communities by completing an application, which is posted as a link to the right. Feel free to contact the Office of Residence Life with any questions or suggestions.
