Houses of GSSM
The Denny W. Neilson Residence Hall and James D. Daniels Residence Hall provide comfortable living suites, study lounges, and recreational lounges for students.
Each floor in the residence hall represents a House, rooted in the centuries-old model of English boarding schools. The House System creates a family-like atmosphere on the halls and develops strong community values and a sense of belonging. A student's House becomes a point of pride through healthy competition throughout the year and especially during Spirit Week.
The GSSM community is governed by the following values we call our Civitas: Accountability, Commitment, Compassion, Fairness, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, Safety, Trust, and Wellness. GSSM student leaders play a significant role in the operations of each house.

Residence Hall Living
Students can be paired with roommates through preference or through the roommate survey completed at new student orientation. Two students are assigned to each room, and four students share a suite with a joint bathroom. GSSM provides furniture including a bed that can be lofted with GSSM provided materials, a desk and chair, and a bookcase for each student. These cannot be removed from the room. A comprehensive list of what should and should not be brought to campus is given to students at new student orientation.
