The First Year Parliaments (FYPs) at Keene State College provide freshmen with the opportunity to live and learn with other students that share similar interests. If you are requesting a specific roommate and a parliament, you both must request the same parliament.

All FYPs are located in Holloway Hall which consists of suites that contain two triple occupancy rooms with a shared bathroom.

All FYP students will be required to actively participate in programs and events in order to remain in the Parliaments. Specific Parliament requirements will be collaboratively developed by each FYP.

Community Service
The Community Service Parliament's focus will be to make students aware and engage them in different service opportunities on an off-campus. Students will have the opportunity to learn how service impacts society, specifically Keene, NH, develop relations with community organizations, and become positive role models for the campus and local communities.

Leadership
The Leadership Parliament brings together students who are either seeking to continue developing their leadership skills or would like to acquire the skills they need to begin taking on leadership roles. This Parliament will focus on the leadership development of each participant and help connect interested students with on and off campus leadership opportunities.

Music
The Music Parliament brings together first-year music majors and minors. This Parliament, with the help of the Music Living and Learning Community and other campus resources, will give music students support and mentoring to help with the demands and stress of the major.

Outdoor Adventure
The Outdoor Adventure Parliament is seeking to bring together students who are interested in exploring the great outdoors for fun, relaxation and adventure! This Parliament will always maintain a healthy respect for nature and help promote local opportunities to get out and enjoy what the great outdoors has to offer. Activities will be developed collaboratively between students and the residence staff but could include hiking, fishing, skiing, snowboarding, camping, and mountain climbing.

Undecided Major
The Undecided Parliament brings together students who are unsure about declaring a specific major or pursuing a definite academic path. This Parliament with the help of a Resident Assistant and other campus resources will give students the opportunity to explore different majors, minors, and concentrations at Keene State College.

Wellness
The Wellness Parliament brings together students seeking to pursue and assist others in the pursuit of maintaining or developing healthy lifestyles. This Parliament will focus on physical, psychological, emotional, intellectual and spiritual aspects of overall wellness. All residents of the Wellness Parliament must agree to adhere to an appropriate wellness oriented lifestyle that demonstrate moderation and healthy personal habits including, but not limited to, healthy sleeping habits, responsible use of drugs and alcohol, solid study habits and community involvement.
