Within these communities, people care about the growth and development of fellow students and share a mutual respect for members’ rights, feelings, lifestyles, and personal property. As a community member, residents are encouraged to seek the positive characteristics of other community members. The responsibility for maintaining a positive campus community is mostly that of the residents. You and the other residents are responsible for your own conduct because it is believed that you are capable of controlling your living environment. However, there are many behavioral expectations, in the form of policies, which have been established. These policies are based on common-sense behavior and a caring attitude toward one’s community members.
