The Office of Residence Life is committed to providing and maintaining a clean and safe living environment that is conducive to the intellectual and personal growth of all YHC students. The Office of Residence Life seeks to provide an environment where students can live, study, and share ideas with their peers whose culture, lifestyle, and opinions may be different from their own. An environment of diversity is supported and celebrated both in Residence Life and at Young Harris College as a whole.

Residential facilities are supervised by full-time, live-in professional Residence Life Coordinators (RLCs). The RLC serves as a resource to the students in their building(s). Every RLC keeps regular office hours and can provide services such as personal and academic advice and referrals, crisis intervention, and conflict mediation. They also communicate community standards for members of the YHC residential community. The RLC is responsible for all administrative functions of the residence hall and directly supervise the Resident Assistants.

Resident Assistants (RAs) are a primary resource for students living on campus. These student leaders facilitate the development of community on their floor(s) and in their suite(s) and building(s). RAs are an excellent source of information and advice about classes and ways to get involved in campus life. RAs also enforce College and Residence Life policies, as well as all health and safety requirements. In doing so, they assist in the maintenance of a clean, healthy, and safe environment where all students can sleep, study, socialize, and live comfortably.
