Student Housing Student Standards General Information where residents have an opportunity to interact with students from different parts of the country and the world, develop interpersonal relationships, and learn about themselves as human beings. The residence halls are staffed by full-time, live-in Residence Hall Directors who are responsible for the administration of the buildings. They are assisted by full- time student Resident Assistants who have been selected and trained to assist residents in the development of floor communities which are conducive to learning, personal growth, and enjoyment. Traditional Residence Hall Living Promontory Tower and Wasatch Hall are traditional residence halls providing room, board, and recreational facilities. Students living in these facilities are required to purchase any one of several meal plans offered by Dining Services. All meals are served in the attractive Promontory Tower Dining Room. Wasatch Hall accommodates 218 students on three floors. Students in Wasatch Hall share a common lounge and recreation areas. Promontory Tower accommodates 245 male and female students on seven floors. Each room in these residence halls is shared by two students and is furnished with beds, drapes, lamps, study desks, chairs, chest of drawers, and closets. All residence hall rooms are carpeted. All other furnishings must be provided by the residents. Single rooms are also available on a limited basis. Single rooms are assigned according to date of request and are slightly more expensive. Apartment Style Living Stansbury and LaSal are apartment style residence halls, each accommodating 68 students. Each apartment is shared by six students and includes a kitchen with refrigerator, electric range, cupboards, table and chairs; bathrooms; a pantry; and three bedrooms furnished with beds, desks, bureaus, and drapes. All other furnishings including cooking and eating utensils are the responsibility of the residents. Residents are responsible for the cleaning of their own bedrooms and share responsibility for cleaning the kitchen, bathrooms, and hallway. Departmental cleanliness standards are strictly enforced. Although some residents of Stansbury and LaSal Halls cook all their meals, many students purchase a limited meal plan and supplement the meals not provided under this plan with their own cooking.
