The quality of the relationship between roommates is a major determining factor in one's satisfaction with college life. Some of the primary components of a positive roommate relationship are the assertive expression of one's needs, the recognition and respect for the unique needs and lifestyles of others, and the positive management of conflict. Students are expected to take primary responsibility for insuring the development and maintenance of positive roommate relationship.
Students are strongly encouraged to invest themselves fully in working together with roommates to resolve any differences by speaking directly to roommates in sharing concerns, expressing feelings in an honest manner, and jointly negotiating a resolution to conflict.
On occasion, a student will attempt to resolve problems by talking to a roommate who is unresponsive. In other cases, a student may be having a difficult time approaching the roommate. In either of these situations, students should seek the help of their Resident Assistant or Residence Hall Coordinator. Residence Hall staff members can assist students in expressing themselves to their roommates or assist in negotiating a living agreement.
All resident students are required to purchase one of four on-campus meal plans. These plans provide access to our dining halls for your primary meals. This insures access to high-quality, nutritious meals. Many students attending college for the first time are not experienced with time management. Having a meal plan relieves the student of the responsibility of shopping, cooking, and cleaning up after meals, allowing more time for academic pursuits. Furthermore, residence halls are not equipped for students to prepare their own meals. Of concern are the potential for fire, activation of smoke alarms, clogged drains, improper disposal of waste and garbage, electrical overload, insects and rodents.
A low-cost, high-quality dining program requires a solid financial base. Our residence hall students provide that base. If meal plans were optional for residence hall students, the cost would be significantly higher.
Flex Dollars are money that is given to you with certain meal plans that can be used in the cafeteria and the Eagle’s Nest to purchase food, snacks, and coffee.
Your student ID is also your meal card and is used for your script (Flex Dollar) money.
Residents are responsible for maintaining reasonable conditions for study and sleep in the residence halls. The College of Southern Idaho is committed to the concept that its residence halls complement and foster the academic and intellectual development of its students. There is an expectation that all residence halls must be conducive to studying, especially in the evenings. To that end, the ability to occupy and enjoy one's room for the purposes of studying in peace and quiet takes precedence over any other activity. Quiet hours are in effect in all residence hall areas on class nights from 10 pm to 9 am. On Friday and Saturday evenings , the quiet hours are from 11 pm to 9 am.
Common courtesy must prevail at all hours. Loud noise and disorderly behavior is not acceptable at any time. A 24 hour quiet period goes into effect prior to and during final exams.
Students are expected to confront other individuals who are infringing upon their right to study or sleep. Resident Assistants are available to help maintain a reasonable level of quiet on the floor. However, Resident Assistants should not be expected to be the sole policy enforcer on the floor. No staff member can be available twenty-four hours a day to handle every possible situation that may arise. At the same time, students are encouraged to practice the skills they will need to be self-sufficient adults. When asked to settle a noise situation, RA's are likely to ask the resident if she/he has made any attempt to resolve the situation. If the resident has made an attempt and did not receive an adequate response, the RA will assist in intervention. If the resident has not made an attempt, the RA is likely to encourage her or him initially to discuss the matter with the student in question.
Students who continually show disrespect for the rights of others and/or refuse to cooperate with requests to keep the noise level down are referred to the Housing Director for disciplinary action. Repeated violations could lead to a student's loss of eligibility for campus housing.

Use of irons is permitted only in the laundry rooms. Octopus-type electric plugs are not permitted. The use of a surge/noise suppression outlet strip to protect computers and other electrically sensitive equipment is recommended as well as UL-listed multiple outlet strip with a built-in 15 ampere fuse or circuit breaker protection.
Cooking by the residents is prohibited in any area within the residence hall other than the public kitchen. Toaster ovens, toasters, grills, griddles, George Foreman grills, hot plates, anything with an open burner or that can cause smoke are NOT permitted in individual student rooms.
Students may bring their own refrigerator, provided it meets the following guidelines. Only one refrigerator is allowed per room. It may be no more than 4.5 cubic feet in internal size. Also, it must have a 3-prong plug and be UL approved.
The college permits guests, regardless of gender. However, based on respect for others, each resident is expected to abide by the following guidelines:
No! Neither firearms nor weapons are permitted anywhere in the residence hall.

Eagle Hall is managed by a full-time professional Residence Housing Coordinator (RHC) and staffed by trained Resident Assistants (RAs). RAs are full time students who have been selected and trained for their position. Our front desk, the HUB*, is staffed in the evenings by RAs who, in addition to their other responsibilities, are also responsible for:
* HUB, in addition to being the “center of interest, activity, or importance” for Eagle Hall, also stands for one of our values - to be a Home of Understanding and Belonging.
A variety of social and educational activities are planned for each residence hall. Educational programs are offered in the areas of health, safety and security, and intellectual wellness. Examples of topics that have been the focus of programs include drunk driving, sexuality, alcohol abuse, acquaintance rape, and cultural diversity awareness.
Social and community development programs have included athletic events and intramurals, tie dyeing, ice cream socials, holiday celebrations, game nights, crafts, scavenger hunts, and community service projects. Each RA is responsible to put on 5 activities a semester.
Fliers are placed in the hallways or near entrances to announce upcoming events.
Residential students may park in the parking lots located adjacent to Eagle Hall. Parking permits are not required. Do not park in reserved and/or accessible (handicap) spaces. Persons with vehicles improperly parked may receive a fine and/or be towed.
No storage, other than rented housing, is provided on campus for student possessions or for college furniture from individual student rooms.
Bicycles must be stored in bicycle rack behind the activity center. All residents must register their bikers with CSI Campus Safety. Bicycle racks are also available outside many of the academic buildings. Residents are free to leave belongings in their rooms over break periods but are encouraged to take valuables with them.
Students may stay in the dorms over Thanksgiving and Spring Breaks, as long as they inform the RHC (this is typically done by filling out a form).
