Student Living is a student-led organization that assists students in their apartments to develop and live patterns that will enhance their apartment experience and support them in their efforts to become stronger disciples of Jesus Christ.

 

Student Living operates from the expectation that BYU-Idaho students "should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness" (D&C 58: 27). This expectation is built on trust. Students will be trusted and expected to uphold the standards of the University and live within Housing guidelines. Students will be treated like adults and disciple-leaders who have made promises to the Lord and value their integrity. In this way, personal and collective accountability will be heightened and obedience strengthened.

 

Student Living sets the stage for a new culture to emerge within apartment life--a culture based on principles of love, responsibility, and respect. Outside the home, the apartment represents the most natural and effective place for students to learn and apply these principles. In the course of learning and applying the principles of Student Living, students will develop qualities, form habits, practice skills, and establish patterns that will strengthen relationships with roommates and engender a spirit of unity, compassion, 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.
