Campus Life
Getting Involved
Are you looking for ways to connect with friends outside the
classroom? Do you want to find ways to contribute to a fun and
active campus community? Would you like to improve your grades
while meeting fabulous people? Getting and staying involved can
help you do all of those things! "Involvement" is defined
as any activity outside the classroom which enhances and contributes
to student learning. Being involved can take many forms, from
being a member of a student club or organization to participating
in a research project with a faculty member, participating in
a retreat or an immersion experience or volunteering at a local
social service agency. Find something you are passionate or curious
about and share your time and talents with the organization. You'll
feel more connected to JCU and the organization will also benefit
from your gifts and skills!
Find out many of the awesome ways to get involved, including information on our nearly 100 student organizations, by visiting the Getting Involved website.
Residence Life
Hanging out with friends, late night discussions, rolling out of bed to get to class, jumping into a pick-up basketball game...students who live on campus during their college careers are more satisfied with their college experiences and more likely to be involved in campus life such as intramurals and community service, perform better than those who live off campus, and persist until graduation. The residence halls at John Carroll University provide more than just a room in which to study and sleep. The community living environment enhances your education by providing experiences to teach you important life skills such as communication, problem solving, and decision making.
To learn how to take advantage of this unique living and learning opportunity, visit the Living at Carroll website.
