Living on Campus

The Social Justice Community at OCC is a community of students who want to learn about social activism, inclusivity, and identity development as individuals and as a community. The social justice community is for students who are interested in addressing social, political and economic injustices, as well as learning about how to become an active part of the solutions through community engagement.

The Health and Wellness Interest group is designed to be a holistic experience that allows students the opportunity and support, to explore and grow in different aspects of wellness. This interest group is ideal for students who have a passion for healthy living, outdoors, sports or recreation. This interest group offers students an opportunity to pursue a wellness-focused living environment within their residence halls with others who share this lifestyle. Living with other students that share your passion in an environment that promotes wellness in all aspects–physical, emotional, intellectual, and social - is an unmatched opportunity for personal growth.

Whether you are a music major or someone who just loves music, the Music Community is for you.

The goal of the community is to establish meaningful social connections and support systems among students who have an interest in music.

Gender Inclusive housing is an open community that allows students and allies of all gender identities to reside in a community together where they can learn and support each other around the topics of inclusion and LGBTQ+ issues.
