  4. How should we address parking problems?

Building Community

  2. What will it take to build community in our residential program?

Financial Considerations

  2. How can the College afford to update the residence halls?
  3. Can students afford our room and board?
  4. How does differential pricing impact equity on campus?
  5. What is the financial role of summer programs that utilize the residence halls?
