Advanced Living Communities

LIFE Altoona offers an interactive and engaging living-learning environment in which its members promise to abstain from the use of alcohol, drugs, and tobacco products at all times.  LIFE offers many leadership opportunities for students on LIFE Council, such as President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, and many other chair positions.  The Resident Assistants in LIFE are specially trained to gear both their educational and social programs towards individuals who have chosen to engage in a substance-free lifestyle.  These programs will take place consistently throughout each semester and many of the social programs will take place on weekends to give residents an on-campus outlet for socialization and friendship.  Many of the education programs will give students an opportunity to challenge and explore their personal values and ideals, along with giving residents great knowledge and personal growth.
