Living on campus can merge with opportunities for personal growth. Two residence halls -- Johnson Hall, home of our First-Year Residential Experience, and Hart Hall, which hosts the Global Living and Learning Center -- serve as "learning laboratories" that emphasize this effort. The First-Year Residential Program fills the  renovated Johnson Hall, helping new students learn about the campus and themselves in a supportive environment. The lively atmosphere of Hart Hall, which focuses on global issues and cultures as well as community services, is often abuzz with presentations, meetings and other activities.

Oswego also offers a variety of smaller Living and Learning Communities in other residence halls.  These communities offer first-rear students the opportunity to take classes and live with students in the same major or with similar interests.
