What are the popular events and traditions at Livingstone College?

Homecoming is a recurring Livingstone College tradition that brings students, alumni and the wider college community together around campus activities and athletics. Its significance goes beyond a single game: it is also an occasion for alumni to reconnect with the institution.

Other reported campus events include Greek Week, associated with fraternity and sorority activities, and Bear Fest, a spring celebration also described as Spring Fling. The schedules and activities can change from year to year, so students should use the current campus calendar for dates rather than rely on a past program.

What are the student housing and dining options at Livingstone College?

Livingstone College provides college-operated undergraduate housing and on-campus dining. Housing availability should not be taken as a guarantee of a particular room, building or placement.

Students considering residence should review the current housing application, eligibility rules, move-in dates and meal-plan terms before paying a deposit or making travel arrangements. Meal plans and dining access can affect the real cost and convenience of living on campus. Students who plan to live elsewhere should compare rent, food and transportation with the college's residential option rather than comparing rent with room charges alone.
