Accommodation details

The residence halls, apartments, and houses here at Wesleyan University are at the center of student's academic and social lives. By living on campus, students will have a tremendous opportunity for growth and personal development outside of the classroom. The Office of Residential Life is committed to creating a living community that will support and foster personal development and leadership. Through interaction with other students and residence staff, students will build relationships with others from a variety of backgrounds and interests. The Office of Residential Life offers housing in the form of one-person apartments, group houses, as well as family units. In conjunction with the Office of Graduate Student Services, both offices will continue to develop a safe and academically stimulating living environment for graduate students at Wesleyan. Each residence hall at Wesleyan has its own personality and advantages. Living in residence halls includes living in communities with at least one upper-class student who serves as a Resident Advisor (RA). Each residential unit includes a laundry room with card-operated washers and dryers. Each student room has a high-speed internet access port per person, along with wireless connection. As students move through their years at Wesleyan, they have an opportunity to choose an increasingly more independent living option from residence hall doubles to singles to program houses, apartments, and eventually wood frame houses. All of these options are with a 5-10 minute walk to campus. All of the units house both men and women; however some residence halls are coed on each floor, while other halls offer single-gender floors and gender neutral housing throughout campus. No smoking is allowed in any University Housing. Residential facilities vary by size, room type, and ratio of first-year to upper-class students.
