New York Recovery Residence Hall Is the Latest in a Small But Growing Group A residence hall for college students in recovery that is slated to open in New York City in fall 2011 is a new twist on a model that has long been used successfully in a small but growing number of colleges across the country. Recovery residence halls are designed to help students find like-minded peers who are willing to take the clean and sober route through their college careers. Unlike existing recovery housing programs that are affiliated with a particular school, the New York residence, run by Hazelden, will be open to students at colleges throughout Manhattan, including Columbia University and New York University.

For a list of colleges and universities with recovery housing, visit the Association of Recovery Schools Web site. Preliminary Study Results Show Later College Class Start Times Associated with Increased Binge Drinking and Lower Grades Although a class schedule with later start times allows college students to get more sleep, it also gives them more time to stay out drinking at night. As a result, their grades are more likely to suffer, suggests a research abstract presented June 14 in Minneapolis, Minn., at SLEEP 2011. The study found that students who had later class start times tended to stay up later, were not as well rested, had more daytime sleepiness, and earned slightly lower grade point averages. Students with this schedule also reported more alcohol use and more binge drinking. See the June 14, 2011, public release for more information.
