Living Guidelines
La Casa provides a perfect environment for the development of
extracurricular activities related to the academic fields of Hispanic and
Luso-Brazilian languages and cultures. It also offers a unique
opportunity for students to develop their language skills by total immersion in
a Spanish speaking environment and to interact with students with similar
interests. Following are some general guidelines for residents of
La Casa:
- Students residing at La Casa will be expected to live and work in
cooperative spirit, sharing some household maintenance duties and kitchen
responsibilities.
- The official languages of La Casa are Spanish and Portuguese.
Students residing at La Casa are expected to use only Spanish and/or Portuguese
in group situations and are strongly encouraged to speak these languages at all
times among themselves, with the Faculty Advisor and with Spanish and
Portuguese-speaking guests.
- Unless otherwise specified, the same college rules that apply to other
college housing will apply to La Casa. See your STUDENT HANDBOOK and
GUIDE FOR ON-CAMPUS LIVING for complete information on college housing policies
and regulations.
