Living on Campus

Grow. Connect. Learn.

Lancaster Bible College is a blended campus where approximately 60% of our traditional undergraduate students live on campus in close-knit communities where students can experience life-on-life connections with fellow students and staff members. LBC views community living as an essential part of a student’s college learning experience. Students have greater access to supports, resources, and personal connections that help them to flourish during their undergraduate years.

Our residence halls are staffed by a team of Hall Directors and student leaders, Resident Assistants (RAs), who are committed to life-on-life leadership that cultivates a Christ-centered living-learning environment through programs and events, intentional conversations, and opportunities to build deep friendships. Our staff also collaborates closely with the Ally Center for academic support, C3 for mental health support, Student Activities for community engagement, and many other offices on campus in order to provide holistic care for our residential students.

Students living on campus are able to uniquely participate in various programs and activities that will enhance their College experience. The programs are designed to intentionally create community, foster a sense of belonging and healthy, meaningful relationships, and encourage personal growth and learning. Programs and activities are planned by Residence Assistants and students are encouraged to participate as often as possible in order to get the most out of their Residence Life experience. All residence halls have annual “Signature Events” that invite students into the traditions and culture of their specific community.

We aim to celebrate the individuality of each student, encouraging them to grow in their personal strengths and discover their unique vocations within the context of Christian community.
