Students may join a Wellness Living Community where residents explore wellness in eight dimensions aligned with the LiveWell Lafayette program: emotional, environmental, intellectual, professional, physical, social, spiritual, and financial wellness.  On these floors, students have opportunities to participate in special programming and create an environment where healthy choices are encouraged and supported which includes a substance-free lifestyle on the floor.

First-year wellness is located in Watson Hall. Incoming students can indicate their interest in joining a Wellness Community when completing the First-year housing application.
