Occidental students are required to live on campus for their first three years, and almost 80 percent of students currently live in college residence halls. The residence education and housing office staffs the college's 13 residence halls and together with the office of student affairs offers a wide variety of co-curricular programming for students. Student affairs also supports student government and more than 100 other student clubs and organizations, all of which provide opportunities for the development of student leadership and initiative. Throughout its history, occidental has regarded athletics as an essential co-curricular program. A founder of intercollegiate athletic competition in southern california, occidental offers 21 intercollegiate sports for men and women at the ncaa division iii level, as well as club and intramural sports.
