Welcome new Newingers!
Congrats for choosing us! Res Life has 6 on-campus residential communities that give
our large campus a "small college feel." We think Newing is the best place to live.
Here is some info to get you started:
Where am I?Newing is on east campus, closest to the East Gym.
-
Where's a good place to study?
Each residential community has a “Success Center,” where you can study alone or with
friends! Our success center is located in C4 (Chenango Champlain Collegiate Center)
and shared with Dickinson. There are group and individual places to study, plus computers
and printers for anyone to use — just login with your PODS I.D. The Emerging Leaders
Program and Public Speaking Lab are located here as well.
-
Where can I eat?
Newing's dining hall is right down the hall and downstairs from the Success Center
in C4 and also shared with Dickinson. There's lots of seating inside and a patio outside.
Food options include The Grill, Sandwich Station, Pizza & Pasta, Salad & Soup Bar,
Simple Servings (healthy options) and Kosher Korner. There's also a Nite Owl (called
the Nowl!) open for late night snacking featuring chicken wings, fries, mac 'n cheese
bites, mozz sticks, milkshakes and more!
Our campus has four dining halls and you're welcome to use whichever you want! The
MarketPlace in The Union is right across the street along with Dunkin' if you need
a caffeine fix. For the best bagels in town, check out Einstein Bros Bagels near Bartle
Library. Find out what dining options are open.
Have dietary restrictions or concerns? Check in with one of our campus dieticians.
-
Who can I ask if I have a question?
Chances are, Newing's area office is a good place to start when you have a Residential
Life question. If you're locked out, have a housing question or need to find a staff
member, this is the place to come. Here you'll find offices for Meryl Stromberg, Area
Secretary, Annetta Cobb and Collegiate Professor (CP), John Starks. The Newing area
office is in the left side of C4, down the hall from the Success Center in Room 119.

Other professional staff that can help you:
We've got a lot of staff members here! Get to know your Resident Director (RD) who
lives in Newing. They are typically in the office during the day (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.)
but do have some evening and weekend hours for meetings and programs.
RDs are full-time professionals who are in charge of one building in your community.
Their office hours may vary, you can email them for an appointment. RDs oversee day-to-day
functions of the building, help organize community gatherings, work with residents
and supervise student staff. If you have personal concerns, inter-personal issues
or concerns about your room/building, this is where you can go to get resources to
support you!
-
Is there staff in my building after hours?
We have a variety of undergraduate student staff that live in the same building as
residents. They can help you navigate campus, find friends and connect you to resources.
They will be your best advocate and support within Newing. They will reach out to
let you know about floor meetings and community gatherings. SSAs are in the area office
from 8 p.m. - 12 a.m.
The staff office is typically on the first floor of your building. This will be staffed
with rotating shifts who will be in the office from 8 p.m. until midnight every night
and will have a phone # posted to call after hours. If you're locked out of your room,
have an urgent maintenance issue, need kitchen or sports equipment or just want to
talk, any of our staff will be happy to help.
-
Where can I hang out with friends?
Newing has a great room/lounge on the left side in the back of C4 where we'll be hosting
community gatherings. It's also a GREAT space to find new friends and hang out. Each
building in Newing has a great room and main lounge on the first floor, as well as
a study lounge on every other floor. These lounges are great to use as study spaces,
where Res Life will hold programs and are awesome for hanging out and playing games!
Each building also has a full community kitchen on the first floor where you can cook
or make snacks for friends. Newing field is right in the middle of all the buildings
and we have a beautiful firepit with lots of seating outside the dining hall.
