Welcome to the Bengal Village community at LSUE!  As a member of the Bengal Village community, you are responsible for contributing to a positive living environment that is conducive to personal growth and academic success.

Each on-campus student has the right to live in an atmosphere of positive encouragement and mutual respect. Each resident is entitled to the following:

• To sleep, study, and socialize in his or her room without disturbance;
• To live in a secure, healthy, and clean environment;
• To be an active member within a supportive and stimulating community; and
• To have access to campus programs and services.

To demonstrate your commitment to being a participating member of the Bengal Village community, your individual responsibilities are to:

• Accept responsibility for your actions;
• Become involved in the community by participating in activities both within and outside of University Housing;
• Consider the needs of other residents and balance them with your own needs;
• Promote individual safety and community security;
• Hold yourself and others to the highest standards of academic, personal, and social integrity;
• Maintain open lines of communication with Residence Life staff;
• Respect the opinions of others; and
• Respect the environment and the property of others and of the university.

In order to achieve these community-wide goals, objectives, and responsibilities, it is necessary to implement rules, regulations, and policies for each student resident and their guests. The guidelines within the Living On Campus Handbook are in addition to those described in your Housing Contract, the Student Code of Conduct, and other university policies governing student conduct and responsibilities.

Your Resident Assistant (RA) is an junior or senior student who lives on the residence hall floor to serve as the primary resource for building community and to help students to know each other and LSUE. Your RA will work to build a positive community on your floor and within the hall, assisting residents with both personal and academic concerns, knowledge and upholding of university policies, and serving as a resource and/or liaison for the university.
