Students in Residence at Vincentian

The Students in Residence Program, offered in partnership with Vincentian Collaborative System, offers a unique opportunity for LRU students to live and interact with seniors at Terrace Place at Vincentian, an independent living community for individuals 55 and older.

How it Works

  • If you're accepted to the program, you'll live in a Terrace Place apartment with another participating student for one academic year.
  • In exchange for free room and board, you'll spend time with residents for a minimum of six hours per week.
  • You may volunteer to provide technology assistance, organize events, perform light housework or provide dedicated social time.

How to Apply

Criteria
Applicants must:

  • Be entering their sophomore year or higher. 
  • Have a current GPA of at least 2.5.
