The Office of Residential Life serves students living on campus by facilitating their adjustment to college life. An attentive staff of resident assistants provides personal counseling as well as guidance and support residential students may need to make their academic and extracurricular pursuits at McIntosh College successful.
McIntosh College residential life provides a safe, secure, and rewarding place for you to reside during your stay here at McIntosh College. Our professional and student staff are at your service 24 hours per day to ensure your complete satisfaction. Our residents live within a community that provides a unique opportunity to make lasting friendships, study, and learn with other students and to develop as an individual. Our diverse community helps to prepare our residents to be successful in their chosen career fields.
Some amenities you’ll find within our community include air conditioning, private bathrooms, individual mailboxes, and a meal plan. Our on-campus dining will allow you more free time, so you can study for exams, sleep in just a little bit longer, or socialize with friends as we shop, cook, and do the dishes. The meal plan offers a variety of meal options satisfying varied personal tastes and individual schedules. Housing restrictions are outlined on the McIntosh College housing application.
