Living Your Freshman Experience (LYFE) House
LYFE Student Staff Leaders
The LYFE Program hosts two sets of student leaders that program to first year resident needs. The Resident Assistants serve as the first line of contact to the residents on their floors/wings and focus primarily on building community within the hall and enforcing housing policies. The LYFE Leaders work in collaboration with the RAs in building community, but target more on academic based initiatives and campus resource referrals.

Advice for Freshman: Throughout your college journey don't compare yourself to others because you are a unique creation in your own right. And when times get tough keep your head up and keep going because there IS light at the end of the tunnel. School becomes easier as time goes by. The pressures of school can become very overwhelming and it helps to gain as many friendships as possible and to join in on campus activities. And most of all, wearing a smile will take you far in life.
