The dormitory is central to student life at Millbrook, and each student accepts responsibility for promoting the quality of residential life throughout the dormitory and Millbrook. Learning to live together well is a daily challenge and opportunity. Students learn to develop respect for their peers, regardless of their background. Through the cultivation of these attitudes, a student can develop a positive, individual lifestyle within a context of sharing and cooperating with others. Dormitory faculty have a central responsibility for fostering and maintaining this positive dorm experience. They work closely with students who are appointed as dorm leaders.
