Doane is a fully residential campus as we believe that residence halls are the best environments for academic achievement, co-curricular and personal growth. Each residence hall makes up a unique community of individuals. Each member of a residence hall community has a responsibility to enhance the development of the environment. Whether it is through participation, learning to compromise, or voicing suggestions, each individual can play an effective role in improving the living atmosphere.
Each member of the community has a responsibility to make the environment as safe and healthy as possible. Doane has adopted a "Living Standard" which students are required to follow. This standard describes how concerns about living conditions and possible health risks will be handled. Information about these standards can be found in the student handbook.
