Housing
Residence Life.
Developing relationships and building community within the residence halls are valuable parts of the college experience. Informal interactions while living on campus complement academic discussions in the classroom and play an integral role in personal development. In residence halls, faith, learning, and living affect every aspect of student life.
Evangel treats each student as a whole person. The Residence Life staff, a group of highly trained and carefully selected professionals (Residence Directors) and students (Resident Assistants) strive to go beyond the academic arena to impact students in their development socially, personally, physically, and spiritually.
Living in a residence hall during the college years provides a unique experience of being around students of varying personalities, interests, and cultural backgrounds.
Commuter Life.
Commuter students are an integral part of the University community. This officially recognized group has its own Commuter Council advised by the Commuter Director. For single and married students who live off campus, the Council provides activities, including commuter luncheons, social activities, devotional chapel opportunities and intramural sports. Between classes, commuters may enjoy the commuter lounge in the Joust Fireside Room.
