Freshmen are placed in doubles with a first-year faculty mentor assigned to every floor. Upperclass students may choose apartment-style suites, themed learning communities, or the honors residence.

Two galleries, a 350-seat theatre, a chamber-music series and a student-run literary magazine — the arts are woven into daily life, not confined to a single building.
Through the Sebastian Service Corps, students log more than 24,000 hours of community service each year — tutoring in Orlando public schools, working with the Second Harvest food bank, and more.

On the eve of final exams, professors and deans don aprons and serve pancakes to students in the dining hall from 10 pm to 1 am.
