Living in Montgomery Hall
Montgomery Hall houses 223 first-year students in traditional double occupancy rooms with community bathrooms. The hall has 2 large lounges on the first and third floors, equipped with cable television. Each floor has a kitchen and laundry facility. Each bedroom is air-conditioned and carpeted with high-speed Internet access. The dimensions of the traditional rooms in Montgomery Hall are 16' by 11'9".
Each hall in Montgomery Hall has a resident assistant (RA), that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week while school is in session. The main purpose of the resident assistant staff is to work towards our mission by "developing safe and secure residential communities, which foster development and learning and growth." RAs are much more than that, however, especially in FYE. They are there to aid all incoming students with their transition to college. RAs are a wonderful source of campus information, as well as a friend, counselor, mediator, and advisor. Although our RAs are students themselves, they are trained to assist students when they can or refer them to the appropriate people.
Students living within the FYE program are held to the same standards as everyone else. The RAs are also there to enforce policies and to hopefully educate all residents. We stress the fact that each residence hall is a community and the student's home for the next 10 months. We want our residents, especially first year students in a new experience, to feel relaxed and at home. On that same note, we ask all residents to respect each other and the building. The RAs are there to make sure that happens. All Lynchburg College policies are outlined in the Hornet, the LC Student Handbook, which is distributed to all incoming students at orientation. Some other things to keep in mind:
- Montgomery Hall is a substance free building and no alcohol may be present at any time within the building (regardless of age).
- Quiet hours are from 11 p.m. to 11 a.m., 7 days a week; 24 hour courtesy hours are in effect (All of our residence halls abide by this policy).
- We expect all of our residents to have fun, enjoy themselves, and ask questions!
