Life of a Residential Student

On any campus, learning and growth take place both in and outside of the classroom. On a campus like Modernage, where a large number of student population reside in the residence houses, the sphere of student development gains a special significance. Just as the faculty members are highly educated and dedicated to teaching, there is a special group of people on the campus who are devoted to each student�s intellectual, social, physical and spiritual development outside of the classroom. Students experience a unique kind of caring and concern for all facets of their growth by the student service staff of Modernage. The following pages describe many of the services and activities available to the students of Modernage. All these services are designed to provide the type of support needed to enhance a student�s residential life experience.

Residential Life

Most students find the experience of sharing a room, living together with many other people and taking active part in the boarding houses to be both challenging and fun. There is no course in boarding house living listed among the academic descriptions, but the lessons in human nature, the friendships developed and the memories recalled will last a lifetime. The House Masters and House Mistresses along with their capable staff are ready at all times to help the students make the most of their boarding house experience.

The rooms are serviced daily. Facilities for personal washing and iron are available on the premises.
