Community Assistants
PCA&D’s version of an “RA”, our Community Assistants are trained student leaders living in each community to provide guidance, support, and help build a warm, welcoming community. Throughout the year, CAs host events like community game nights, potlucks, movie nights, and more.
Meal Plan available
While our housing communities offer full kitchens for meal prep, students may opt into a meal plan through our partnership with nearby Franklin & Marshall College. All meal plan rates are charged per semester and paid through your tuition bill.
Housing Application Process
The housing application is released in April with placements announced in June for deposited, full-time degree-seeking students planning to start classes in the fall. It is important that the student complete the application themselves for the roommate placements.
Commuting
Commuting is a great way to save money will enjoying the vibrant community PCA&D has to offer. A parking garage is available right behind campus for use with all students being able to purchase a parking pass through the Bursar’s office. Carpooling is also recommended for those who would like to split any traveling costs they may experience. In all inclement weather conditions, PCA&D uses the RAVE text and email alert system to announce campus closures, advisories, or safety concerns.
