Student Life

The Office of Residential and Family Living (RFL) is committed to creating an atmosphere within the University of California, Berkeley residence hall community which facilitates the educational and personal development of all residential students. RFL provides programs, resources and services which augment the academic mission of the University by providing opportunities for academic and personal growth.

RESIDENTIAL STAFF
Each residential complex is coordinated by professional staff members who oversee the residential programs in their living community. Each hall or area within the unit is staffed with paraprofessionals including Resident Assistants who serve as peer advisors, assist with residents’ educational and social activities and help maintain community standards. For more information on leadership opportunities check out http://www.housing.berkeley.edu/student/leadership.html.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES
Academic Services Centers exist in Units 1, 2, and 3, Clark Kerr Campus, and Foothill. Bowles, Stern and Foothill residents share academic program facilities. Services provided by the Academic Services Centers include study sessions with tutors, computing centers, faculty programs, courses and advising. All Computing Centers have Macintosh and IBM / PC compatible computers running the latest software applications and are connected to the campus network which includes GLADIS, MELVYL (library catalog systems) and e-mail as well as the World Wide Web.

SECURITY MONITOR PROGRAMS
During the evening hours Security Monitors are posted at the entrance of all halls in Units 1, 2, 3, and Stern Hall. The Security Monitor is there to assist in the security of the community and to control access by people who do not live in the building. At Clark Kerr Campus and Foothill, because of multiple private entrances, the security staff patrols the grounds of the facility, and operates an information desk in the evenings.
