Living in Community

One of the most unique features of Warren Wilson is its strong campus community. Warren Wilson is a residential campus where 90% of students live on campus, which creates a vibrant residential experience.

Residence Life Staff

Your residence hall experience is guided and overseen by three levels of staff support, with Residence Assistants (RAs) living in your hall and working directly with you to create an environment that supports learning, openness, tolerance, respect, and individual responsibility. RA’s are backed-up by Residence Directors and Area Coordinators that help handle administrative issues, facilities, mediation, and emergency response.

Can I Commute?

Warren Wilson is deliberately a residential community. Participating in the residential community on campus, while also working on campus, is a critical component to a WWC education. Students who live on campus have been shown to be more engaged in campus life, which contributes positively to their experience in college, identity development, and in most cases achieving a higher GPA. That’s why we require 3 years of campus residence and Work Program participation to graduate (with exceptions for transfer students).

Students who have yet to complete 90 credit hours or are under age 22 (including most First Year students) will be approved to live off-campus only when one of the following is true:

Living with parents or guardians in the area
Living with spouse or domestic partner
Living with dependent child
Financially independent as determined by the IRS

休息室家具包括usb和标准插座，所以您可以在您的社区空间工作。

When you are part of a community, your level of accountability for yourself and your surroundings heightens. Its not just a random face cleaning your bathroom, it’s your roomate’s or your neighbor’s. Treating everyone in my environment as a human being like me regardless of what they are doing rather than a task or a service is something that has stayed with me.

Getting Your Roommate

As a new student, you’re assigned a room and roommate based on your responses to the Room Selection Survey, which is part of theonboarding webpage．调查将询问你的习惯、偏好、兴趣和生活方式。我们尽一切努力尊重你的喜好，把你安置在一个你会茁壮成长的环境中，但生活在社区中有时会涉及妥协。

Single rooms are available at an additional cost. Students with documented medical needs that substantially limit a major life activity have first priority, and second priority is determined based on seniority.

Themed Living

Themed living at Warren Wilson College creates strong links between the living and learning experiences. Students in our themed communities share similar interests, backgrounds, and goals and are supported in developing a living environment that relates to the theme of the program.

Examples of Themed Living have included:

Alliance Floor: This community is an intentional and supportive space of all gender and sexual identities. Residents will engage in honest dialogue about gender, gender identity, sexuality and interpersonal relationships as a means to self-awareness.
Engage 2.0:This community is a mentor program created to help WWC students of color thrive here on campus. Ten first year mentees will build camaraderie with each other and their five upper class mentors that all live on the same hall. Mentees will meet up with mentors often for guidance and friendship, as well as join other folks of color on campus for celebrations each month.
Healthy Lifestyles这个社区是为那些从事无物质生活方式，并寻找一个安全的空间来继续清醒的学生而设的。此外，该社区向学生介绍了广泛的健康主题，如身体健康、情绪健康和身心精神联系。这个社区的居民签署了一份楼层协议，声明他们的房间在任何时候都不会有任何物质，他们也不会在任何物质的影响下进入楼层。
Outdoor Adventure: This community accommodates all types of outdoorsy folks through its programming. From biking to hiking to plant identification and environmental wellness, residents of this community will share their love of Earth’s great beauty. All levels of outdoor experience and environmental enthusiasts are welcomed here.
Gap Year每年有超过10%的沃伦·威尔逊学院新生从间隔年返校。这个楼层为其他学生提供了一个分享间隔年经验的社区。这个社区的居民将在他们的间隔年的背景下理解他们的沃伦威尔逊经验。
Transfer Suite: This suite-style living arrangement affords new transfer students the opportunity to increase their sense of belonging and community through a shared living experience.
