Student Life
Students live in four residence halls that are composed of 10 houses (five boys houses and five girls houses). A house typically includes eight student rooms, a common area, kitchen and dining area, computer area, bathrooms and laundry facilities, as well as the houseparent’s office and residence.
Two days in a six day rotation, the students and all faculty and staff join in the Lewis Perry Jr. Chapel to attend "All-School," which is when announcements, events, and performances are made. Senior students have the opportunity to share a meaningful presentation with the community during this time as well.
Students also participate in the annual interim program, which occurs during the first week of spring break. Interims allow students to explore their passions through experiential education. Past interim programs have included trips to foreign nations, such as China, Israel, The Baja Peninsula, France, The Bahamas, Great Britain, and Peru, as well as domestic trips such as "The American Deep South" and "Photography in Canon de Chelly." All freshmen participate in a locally based interim, through which they explore Colorado's rich history in ranching, mining, and pioneering.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“Many a poor sore-eyed student that I have heard of would grow faster, both intellectually and physically, if, instead of sitting up so very late, he honestly slumbered a fool’s allowance.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Here lies the body of William Jones
Who all his life collected bones,
Till Death, that grim and boney spectre,
That universal bone collector,
Boned old Jones, so neat and tidy,
And here he lies, all bona fide.”
—Anonymous. “Epitaph on William Jones,” from Eleanor Broughton’s Varia (1925)
