While much of a student's education takes place in the
classroom, every area of the educational community contributes
to the learning process. The residence life program is a
critical element in the total learning and personal growth
experience. The residence life program at Newbury College
provides a supervised living and learning environment that
is supportive of, and conducive to, the maximum growth of
all residents.
