A Real Community: Our Theme Housing
We continually evolve our residential life system at Tiffin University, listening to the desires and needs of our students. We have some exciting options for housing in the Fall of 2007. In response to student suggestions, members of developing organizations who would like to have their own residential spaces, and our own goals for providing like-minded students with living-learning spaces to enhance their residential and academic experiences, we are pleased to offer you the following theme housing options. At TU, we’re all about developing a real community!
LIVING LEARNING COMMUNITY
The F.J. Miller Society
Location: Miller Hall, 228 W. Perry Street
This Living Learning Community focuses on assisting students in developing and practicing leadership skills and styles, as well as exploring service opportunities both on campus and in the surrounding community. This residence option provides a safe and inclusive environment that allows students to experiment with leadership styles. The living arrangement promotes opportunities for you to make real connections with faculty, staff, students, in courses with leadership components and the local community. Also housed in the hall is Tiffin’s Freshmen Honors Program class.
STUDENT DEVELOPMENT HOUSE
Location: 108 South Sandusky Street
While college is a time for the exploration of a wide range of social areas, an increasing number of students prefer an option that promotes specific wellness areas and provides a substance-free environment as part of this promotion. Designed to be an alternative to the traditional residence hall, this co-ed “Real World” community focuses upon creating an academically enhanced environment where you can take a strong ownership role in the development of the community.
INTERNATIONAL HOUSE
Location: 193 Jackson Street
Living abroad can be an incredibly exciting adventure for students who choose this option as part of their academic curriculum. However, there are times when you may feel a bit isolated and homesick. Offering this option to students who are from abroad, as well as American students who want to learn about other cultures, brings a positive and concentrated blend of international diversity to our residential system. Living in this house means that you will have the opportunity to cook together and learn about the food and customs of other countries, while promoting global unity and cultural awareness throughout campus.
PERFORMING ARTS HOUSE
Location: 192 Clay Street
Like-minded students who achieve success within an organization often desire to reside together to hone their skills, create a stronger bond with each other outside of the organization’s official structure, and support each other in an academically encouraging living environment in order to ensure the continued success of their organizations. The Performing Arts House offers you a creative living environment conducive to impromptu “jam sessions,” alternative hour creative outbursts, and a supportive yet challenging community.
