Chi Rho is a suite-style residence hall, which has been set aside as a freshmen only building. A student's freshman year is an opportunity to grow and develop in many different aspects of their lives. By having all of our freshmen housing together, there is an opportunity for many of the new students to make friends and to develop relationships, which they will carry with them throughout the duration of their academic stay at Concordia. Additionally, the First-Year Experience Office has been strategically placed within the Chi Rho residence hall to assist students in their transition to Concordia University Irvine.
