Engineering Residential Community in Palo Verde Main, 2009-2010

First-year students enrolled in Engineering programs have the opportunity to enrich their academic experience outside the classroom by living on one of the several floors of Palo Verde Main, which make up the engineering residential community.

There are many advantages of living in the residential community. Students have access to academic resources such as tutoring and study groups. We also have social activities such as our welcome event, intramurals, gaming nights and meals with professors. These academic and social activities are designed to help build relationships with peers, mentors and faculty. Additionally, students have access to peer mentors. There are six peer mentors, who are upper-division engineering students currently living in the community. The peer mentors are there to serve as a resource to the residents and to assist in the planning of academic and social activities. Look at our peer mentor bios here.

All Engineering freshmen, other than engineering honors freshmen who will be living in the Barrett Honors Community, are required to live in the Engineering Residential Community in Palo Verde Main.

Palo Verde Main has a mini food court and a market on the first floor, outdoor and indoor meeting spaces. The student rooms are two students of the same gender sharing one bathroom with two students of the same gender living next door.
