The Residence Hall
Located on the 7th and 8th floors, our residence hall provides a study-focused environment for university students and faculties of the UA&P. Anchored in a culture of mutual support, it fosters personal discipline, academic excellence, and a spirit of service.
Our Team.
ADUC is overseen by a Residence Director, supported by a Vice Director and an Administrator who together ensure the governance and formation of the center.
The 7th and 8th floors of Amber Hall are managed by Residence Managers dedicated to maintaining a supportive, orderly, and values-driven environment. They oversee daily operations, attend to student well-being, and ensure the consistent implementation of house policies. Through their professionalism and care, they foster a culture of personal responsibility, mutual respect, and growth in character among the residents.
The Residence Staff who are also faculties of the university serve as coaches and mentors, providing personalized guidance to help student residents achieve their academic and personal goals. Through their close accompaniment and example, they foster a culture of discipline, mutual respect, and holistic growth within the community.

Services
In addition to the facilities of Amber Drive University Center, student residents and staffs benefit from a range of services that support daily living and foster a sense of community. These include:
-
Accommodation – Comfortable, well-maintained living spaces conducive to study and rest.
-
Meals – Nutritious, home-style meals served daily that nurture family life within the residence hall, encouraging shared conversations and a spirit of unity.
-
Celebrations – Family-style gatherings such as birthdays, special occasions, family day, and year-end celebrations that strengthen bonds among residents and promote a joyful, home-like atmosphere.
Residence Life
Life in the residence is intentionally formative, blending structure with community engagement. Following communal meals, residents gather in the living room for informal get-togethers—sharing stories, exchanging ideas, and occasionally engaging in recreational activities.
Weekends offer opportunities for outdoor pursuits such as biking, sports, or participation in various student activities organized by the Amber Drive University Center. An annual Family Day further strengthens the community by bringing together residents and their families for meaningful interaction and shared experiences.
These regular moments foster a spirit of camaraderie, balance, and holistic development in line with the residence’s formative mission.
