What is the Wellness Floor?
The Wellness Floor is the Substance-Free Housing Floor in the Schwartz Dormitory. But it is more than just Substance-Free Housing, it’s a floor that is set up to build a great community of diverse individuals who live together for a truly fun and all around positive college experience.
