CARE:
Cultural Awareness Residence Experience
This unique living option in Scudder Hall is for students
who wish to explore and share their cultural backgrounds. This living experience
offers students the opportunity to form close relationships with their roommate
and housemates while learning about each other's cultures and traditions. This
program assists all students in transition for their success here at SUNY New
Paltz. For more information, visit
the CARE Web site.
First Year Initiative (FYI)
FYI is a living/learning community designed specifically for freshmen in Esopus
Hall. FYI provides an opportunity to live in a residence hall with classmates
who are all making the initial transition from high school to college. Each
student takes two courses in common with their hall mates during each semester
of their freshman year. This environment provides for the development of effective
academic skills through informal study groups, seminars and workshops by faculty
and professional staff, the availability of "resident mentors," in hall peer
advisors who can assist with course work, study skills, time management and
more.

the Center for Student Developement for more information on the
First Year Initiative.

Contract Study Hall
While all our residence halls have quiet study hours each day, two halls Scudder and Crispell have
been designated as Contract Study halls. These halls provide an environment
that supports quiet 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This creates an atmosphere
that is highly conducive to study and rest. Each resident agrees, through a
written contract, to abide by and maintain a 24-hour quiet condition. While
stereos, TVs, and computer games are allowed, they must be kept at a volume
in accordance with the Contract Study Agreement.
The Honors, BS/DO and Arts programs all have specially designated residential areas within Lenape Hall. The Scholar's Mentorship Program is housed within Shango Hall.
Wellness House
The Wellness House is a living and learning environment in Crispell
Hall where healthy lifestyle choices are encouraged. Residents in the Wellness
House contractually agree to maintain a smoke-free and healthy living style.
The residence hall staff provides educational and social opportunities that
will create an increased awareness of all aspects of healthy living. The Wellness
House is an exciting opportunity to meet and live with other students who are
interested in a healthy living style and environment.
10 Month Halls
Five residence halls, (three corridor style and two suite style) remain open
during academic year break times (i.e. winter recess, spring break). Students
who require 10-month housing must request this as their housing choice. There
is an additional housing charge to participate in a 10-month residence hall.
