Residence hall living is regarded as an important aspect of the Christian academic community that Olivet seeks to foster. Resident directors and assistants live within student dorms providing guidance, help and information, to ensure a positive living experience for every student. They help to maintain an environment that is conducive to social, mental, and spiritual growth.
