The Residential Education and Community Standards team is here to provide educational opportunities and services that support your academic pursuits and help you become an engaged member of the Tulane University community.  Living on campus has many benefits, including: a rich community experience; support services; proximity to classes, the library, and dining facilities; campus safety and security measures; and out-of-classroom learning opportunities.

Living on campus is an excellent experience that, at times, presents some challenges: learning to share a room or apartment; understanding and complying with Community Living Standards, and establishing a new network of friends.  We are here to assist you in each of these endeavors. A professional staff member (an Area Director or Residential College Director) who has the education and experiences necessary to help you make the most of your experience manages each residential area. In addition to these professional staff members, there are a large number of student staff members: Assistant Resident Directors, Resident Advisors, and Desk Service Coordinators.  Each of these student staff members is a returning student who has exhibited good leadership skills and has an interest in helping to maximize your community living experience.  Key among these student staff members is your Resident Advisor (RA).  Your RA lives on your floor/wing and serves as your primary campus and community resource person from Housing and Residence Life.  Should you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!
