The Science RLC attracts and supports science majors who seek a community with a common academic interest, a collective respect for individual study habits and an understanding of the benefit of collaborative study. This housing option provides student and faculty interactions through academic, programmatic and experiential opportunities, and supports students who are preparing for post-graduate work in medicine, dentistry, health care, teaching or research. This housing option has the added benefit of a faculty member who lives on the Science hall and provides individual tutoring, support and advising to science majors.
