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.

Community Living
Laws, guidelines, and rules in any society reflect the community’s commitment to an environment that allows common aims to be achieved. In the residence halls at NHTI, the guidelines for social conduct are based on respect for other residents. The quality of the residence life you experience will be the direct result of your willingness to respect and understand fellow students and your commitment to this community.

As an educational institution, NHTI established the residence halls as an environment in which students pursue their academic work. The guidelines concerning quiet hours ensure that study time has priority and that those students who are inclined toward disruptive behavior go elsewhere. Abuse of alcohol and other drugs, vandalism, stealing, violence, harassment, and other forms of misconduct are unacceptable as these acts contradict the goals of NHTI.

The Office of Residence Life welcomes all students who choose to join the community established in the residence halls. The members of this community have the privilege of learning in a unique setting. All students should be mindful of the fact that residence life is not a right, but rather a privilege that is seriously jeopardized by violations of NHTI policy. While students may entertain a limited number of guests in their rooms, they will be held accountable for both their own behavior and the behavior of their guests. It is strongly advised that students familiarize themselves with all NHTI policies contained in the Student Handbook, as the Office of Residence Life requires that students adhere to all NHTI policies and comply with these “ground rules” for community living. Most importantly, NHTI anticipates that students will reflect in their actions consideration for others and a sincere commitment to community life and the goals of NHTI.

CCSNH Student Housing
NHTI also offers housing for some Manchester CC and Lakes Region CC students. Housing is available for these students on a space available basis. NHTI students who have returned all required forms and have paid a room deposit will be housed by July 31st. CCSNH students will be housed on August 1st if required forms and a room deposit have been received.
