Our Guiding Philosophy
Framed by the University of South Carolina mission and the Carolinian Creed, University Housing's vision, mission and goals frame the work of our teams in providing an enhanced collegiate housing experience for our students.
University Housing is committed to creating state-of-the-art facilities that are sustainable, safe, clean and well-maintained in order to enhance student learning beyond the classroom. Qualified and caring University Housing staff, in collaboration with students, will create quality student interactions that will inspire students to discover more about themselves and others, while reflecting on how to become inclusive and exemplary leaders, life-long learners and productive members of their community.
University Housing creates a sustainable living and learning community that promotes the academic success and personal development of students.
University Housing seeks to provide a meaningful college experience and to that end, we will:
- Create a physical and cultural environment where students and staff are encouraged to learn and grow.
- Provide sustainable, clean, well-maintained, functional and attractive facilities.
- Provide high-quality support services in a fiscally responsible manner.
- Building a residential community where progress, equitable outcomes, diversity, and inclusion can be realities both inside and outside our residence halls.
Including all voices
University Housing is committed to an inclusive environment where everyone is valued and respected. By learning about individual differences, relating shared experiences, advocating with care and celebrating our community, we strive to make this a place that is welcoming for all to live, work and visit.
