Faces of 91自拍 dorm life
Hear how from community members as they discuss how being connected with one dorm for your entire time at 91自拍 makes dorm living unique, inclusive and fun.
Dorm Head
Dorm heads develop a safe and welcoming living environment for their residents. They work closely with dorm faculty and student proctors to聽create dorm-based programming and plan聽activities聽for their students.
Ms. Soucy, McConnell Hall
“The way that our dorm team works together, and the different skills that each of us has, fits together like a puzzle and creates an environment that helps support our students.”
Proctor
A leadership position for seniors, proctors work with dorm heads and dorm faculty to plan activities. Proctors also provide guidance and advice for younger students in the dorm.
Tucker, Senior, Ewald Hall
“Every student benefits from a caring and welcoming dorm community. As a proctor, I do my best to create and further that spirit.”
Student Listener
Student listeners provide peer-based support聽within each dorm. They receive training on how to engage with dorm mates and the types of resources available should a student wish to continue the conversation with a professional.
Nataly, Upper, Wheelwright Hall
“I make an active effort to build relationships with my dormmates to create a home away from home for them. My dorm is my comfort spot on campus, and I want my dormmates to feel that way too.鈥�
Dorm Fun
From the structured to the spontaneous, dorm fun comes in many forms. Whether it鈥檚 planned outings聽like ice skating in Portsmouth or聽a night in聽watching a movie with friends, there are聽plenty of ways to enjoy free time聽with dorm mates.
Masaki, Lower, Knight House
“Whether it’s trips to the beach, hanging out playing cards or just simply some alone time, there’s always a place for everyone. Anyone can fit in and there’s no real social pressure.鈥�
Dorm = Family
Students remain in the same dorm for the聽duration of their time at 91自拍. Younger students benefit from the presence of older students who have grown into leadership roles.聽As dorm affiliates, day students are encouraged to participate in residential life.
Ava, Prep, Wheelwright Hall
“When I first arrived at 91自拍, older students in my dorm helped me get settled. They are so approachable and I always feel comfortable going to them for guidance.鈥�
