Residence Life Center and Family Housing
NWIC currently has two student housing facility options. The first is the Residence Life Center (RLC) and the second is the NWIC Family Housing at the Kwina Estates, both located at the Lummi campus.
The mission of the RLC is to build a sustainable community through promotion of healthy living, leadership development, and embracing traditional ways of its residents and the community. Programming will enhance and strengthen individual access to culturally relevant education and personal growth.
The RLC houses 64 students and 3 Resident Assistants. There are double and triple occupancy rooms available. All rooms have a private suite style bathroom, sink, desk, chairs, bunk beds, dressers and space for either a microwave or small fridge. The RLC also has a fully furnished lounge which includes: Television, Direct TV satellite, couches, chairs, dining set, kitchen and two computer stations. There is an on-site laundry facility and a dining hall where students have meals prepared for them. The quarterly meal plan is required for all residents.
The NWIC Family Housing at the Kwina Estates is located within walking distance from the main campus. There are eight 1-bedroom, ten 2-bedroom, and two 3-bedroom apartments available. These units are not furnished. Residents of these units can purchase a quarterly meal plan but it is not required. This option requires an application obtained at the Residence Life Center office or on the NWIC website.
