Students live in dormitories under the supervision of qualified residential advisors who provide guidance and plan social, athletic, cultural and co-curricular activities.

All of the institutes operate under statewide guidelines regarding curfews, dating, sign-outs and visitors. Additional rules may be established as needed at the respective sites. Students are not allowed to have cars on campus, and drugs and alcohol are strictly prohibited. Students who do not adhere to regulations, who act in an immature manner or who fail to take advantage of the academic opportunities offered by the program will be dismissed.
