The mission of Student Living is
to create and foster a culture in which students learn and live the
principles of Zion in their apartments and homes.
The three guiding principles of Student Living are
- Love - for God and love for
neighbor.
- Share responsibility - roommates
are their brother's keeper.
- Mutual respect - roommates live
the Golden Rule.
The apartment represents the most
natural and effective place for students to learn and apply these
principles. By so doing, students will develop qualities, form
habits, acquire skills, and establish patterns that will strengthen
relationships with roommates and engender a spirit of unity,
integrity, responsibility, forgiveness, and love in the
apartment--all of which will serve to bless future homes and
families and prepare students for service in the Church, community,
and workplace.
Through an emphasis on true principles, Student Living fosters
personal honor, inspires conversion in addition to compliance, and
produces blessings of strength and happiness.
It is ultimately desired that, through Student Living, students
will become men and women of greater integrity, good "neighbors"
who understand and embrace their responsibility toward others, and
natural leaders who know how to each and how to learn.
