Living in Community The residential community provides opportunities to interact with a variety of people, some of whom may become lifelong friends. Start by getting to know your roommate and then your neighbors. Before long you'll have a network of new friends on campus.

Seattle Pacific has staff to help you adapt to your new home. Peer Advisors (PAs) are student leaders who live on residence hall floors and in campus apartments. They are trained to provide leadership to the residents and plan activities and programs. Residence Life Coordinators (RLCs) are professional staff members who live in each residence hall. They train and work with the PAs and oversee the administration of the building. Student Ministry Coordinators (SMCs) live in the halls and focus on the development of students' spiritual needs.

Residence hall students elect a hall council each year to oversee the hall's budget, plan activities and represent them at the Student Senate. You may choose to become a hall council member and represent your floor at the meetings.
