Communities/Special Interest Floors 2009-2010
Residence halls are home to several special-interest and living-learning program options. While all residence hall living is intended and designed to promote student learning and academic success, these choices offer particular advantages in connecting students’ classroom experiences to their daily in-hall experiences. Please review the list for a complete new set of options available to UC residents.

Special Interest Floors by Description
CECH (College of Education, Criminal Justice and Human Services) Floor:
A themed-floor at Stratford Heights' Tower Hall has been designated for CECH and Pre-Law. This arrangement allows criminal justice and Pre-Law majors of both genders and education majors of both genders to live in close proximity. The CECH Floor will offer programs related to classroom content and professional development in each of the career areas.

College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) Floors:
Floors designated for CCM women and men are located in Calhoun Hall, near the CCM Village. Residing on a CCM floor allows students to live with and near other CCM students who share similar goals and schedules for class and rehearsals.
Design, Architecture, Art and Planning (DAAP) Floors:
Students who live on the DAAP floor in Daniels and at Stratford Heights appreciate sharing space and working together with other students whose class and project schedules are similar to their own.
back to top
STEMM Floors:
STEMM floors allow residents in the academic areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine to form study groups and to work cooperatively. Programs often include study/review sessions. STEMM floors will be housed in Calhoun Hall (men) and Dabney Hall (men) and the STEMM House at Stratford Heights (both men and women).
Honors and HonorsPLUS Floors:
Options are located in Daniels Hall, Turner Hall and the Honors House at Stratford Heights. Floors are co-ed and suites are gender-specific. Students who request assignment to these floors must be accepted into the University Honors Program or the HonorsPLUS program in the College of Business. Students in these units are often enrolled in similar courses, and program opportunities include many Cincinnati-area arts and educational events and career explorations, among others.
back to top
Quiet Floors:
While all halls and floors have structured quiet hours to observe, these floors are study-intensive. During the week, quiet hours are continual; some limited break is provided on the weekends. Residents on these floors are expected to sign special contracts to uphold the study-intensive environment. This option is available in Daniels where floors are coed and rooms gender-specific.

Houses
Located in the Stratford Heights complex, there are several community-style living options available.
SUBSTANCE-FREE/RECOVERY HOUSE is devoted to providing a drug- and alcohol-free environment for students who are committed voluntarily to maintain such a lifestyle, including those already in the process of recovery from drug- or alcohol addiction. Students will be expected to sign additional agreements of personal responsibility for adhering to standards. No counseling or treatment is provided at the house. However, the staff is prepared to make appropriate referrals to resources, and educational programming support is provided collaboratively among Campus Wellness, the Counseling Center and Resident Education and Development.
TRINITY HOUSE promotes student community life and learning in an ecumenical environment. The house is sponsored by the American Baptist and Presbyterian Campus Ministries and is open to students from other faith backgrounds. Trinity House offers a wide range of programming for students in the house and the larger UC community. Trinity House residents have chosen to live in a substance- and alcohol-free house. Housing scholarships are available.
VALENTINE HOUSE is a French and Spanish language, immersion residence offering undergraduate students an opportunity to extend their academic interests into their residence life. Valentine House allows 11 French and 11 Spanish-studying students to practice and improve their language skills in an environment devoted to academic excellence, diversity, and international cultural exchange. Students applying before April 15 will be considered for a $1,000 scholarship for the following year.
