Student Services At Newberry College, learning takes place both inside and outside the classroom. No matter where a student finds themselves -- on-campus, in-town, or off-the-beaten-path -- they exchange ideas and build relationships with faculty, other students, and community members alike. Students discover the "classroom" extends far beyond ivy-covered walls to the greater Newberry community, region, and world. Students live, learn, play, and get a whole life education at Newberry. The Office of Residence Life encourages community and individual growth through effective residential programming and community involvement. We strive to create an environment that students call home and a community that feels like a family. We believe this residential culture is imperative to our mission and an important part of a the learning process. We support students by providing everything students need to be successful including academic assistance, career guidance, health care, development, community service involvement, and academic excellence. Greek organizations are governed by their respective councils; IFC, NPC, and NPHC. Accessibility and affordability are paramount
