The Office of Housing and Residence Life ( HRL ) at the University of North Carolina Wilmington supports the philosophy that a college education facilitates the development of the total person and recognizes residence hall living as an integral part of the educational process. The Residence Life program is designed to assist students in realizing their full potential as individuals, members of the residential community, members of the University, and members of society as a whole. Residence hall living fosters increased awareness and advocacy for the individual differences, developmental self-responsibility, self-concept, self-direction, interdependence, and the mastering of increasingly complex developmental tasks. The residence halls provide an environment where students are able to meet their educational goals through an integration of various learning opportunities that combine classroom learning with learning opportunities outside the classroom.
