Our deep commitment to residential learning means we invest in a residence life experience designed to help you flourish spiritually, emotionally and intellectually. You'll process what you're learning in the classroom by doing life together. And whether it's late-night studying in the lounge, weekend conversations with suitemates, floor worship, or brother-sister floor hangouts, the experiences you share and the friends you meet in Fischer Hall will enhance your education and shape you for a lifetime.
