Lock Haven University houses almost 1800 students in 7 residence halls. LHU offers 3 different housing styles including 5 traditional style residence halls, where the community is built by each RA on their floors, taking pride in each of the areas and then of course the whole building community feeling is felt by each person as they “belong “ to a home. One of the most recent buildings LHU opened is Fairview Suites, which houses over 680 students. The new building offers two different styles of suites, a private two bedroom suite, and a shared one bedroom suite. Campus Village houses 170 upper-class residents in 92 apartments.
The Residence Life structure includes a VP for Student Affairs, a Dean of Students and Dean of Student Development, four 12 Month Residence Life Coordinators (RD with outside assignments i.e. RA training and Selection, RHA), two 10 Month Residence Life Coordinators (RD same as above only 10 month hire), and one 10 month Residence Hall Director. One Graduate Hall Director is hired each year. They run a residence hall and are overseen (supervised) by another professional Student Life Coordinator and the Dean of Students. Please note the staff structure may change over time to better meet the needs of the institution.
