Residence Living at NHTI
Living in the residence hall is an integral part of the total educational experience at NHTI. Every effort is made to provide opportunities for personal growth and development in a safe, secure and clean living environment conducive to the academic and personal development of the student.
Moving into the residence halls of NHTI will be the first time many of our students have moved away from home. The residence life staff is here to help students adjust quickly to their new environment. NHTI has three coeducational residence halls. Each has a full-time professional Residence Director and a staff of Resident Assistants. The resident assistant staff is selected from successful second year students and receives training in all areas of student development including fire and safety concerns to peer counseling.
The Residence Life Office assigns living space based upon student responses to the Residence Hall Application. Most of our new residents are assigned roommates whom they meet for the first time on campus. New residents should expect to spend time getting to know each other. Early mutual agreements should be made on such matters as study time, sleep hours, cleanliness, visitors and sharing possessions.
New students may request to be roommates on their Residence Hall Applications. In order for requests to be considered, both individuals must request each other on the form.
Single rooms are not available to new students unless medical reasons require a student to live alone. Students who have special needs should contact the Residence Life Office.

Quiet hours are designed to be a time when the residence hall is extremely quiet to allow for studying and sleeping. There should be no excessive noise at other times.
