Residence Life
The residence halls are more than places to sleep. Here at Schreiner University, the residence halls create a sense of community and a place to call home.
Residence Life Mission
The residence life staff encourages opportunities for community involvement, responsibility and accountability within a supportive and encouraging living-learning environment that is conducive to the growth of each student and campus community as a whole.
