The Lodges are a great place for upperclassmen to gain some independence while still being able to live in community, build friendships, and enjoy spending time with other upperclassmen that have similar interests and life circumstances.
Lodge residents are able to choose however much community they want and need to finish college well and transition into a new place. Numerous opportunities are available for Lodge residents to learn skills necessary for life after college while still having social interactions with 240 other upperclassmen.
