FAQ

Q: How do I apply to live on campus?

All full time undergraduate students are expected to reside on campus, therefore a housing application will be sent to you once you are accepted. Once you return the completed form to us we will begin the housing process.

Q: How will I get my room assignment?

If you are a student entering in the fall, you will receive your appointment by mail in mid- August. If you are entering in January, you will receive your appointment by mail approximately one week prior to the residence house opening.

Q: Can I request to live with a friend who was accepted to Connecticut College?

Coming to college is a time for students to foster new relationships and learn as much as possible. Living with someone you already know could hinder you from making these new relationships, therefore it is discouraged. However, each situation will be looked at on an individual basis.

Q: Is there storage in the residence houses?

There is no storage for your personal belongings in the residence houses. There is limited storage for items of no value, such as boxes and packing materials. Since this is shared storage, there is no guarantee that there will be space available. Any items stored in these areas are stored at a student's own risk.

Q: Is there a place to store my bicycle?

Bike racks are located in many areas on campus. Some areas are indoor on first floors, others are outside. Please make sure to bring adequate locking devices for your bike. Motorbikes are not permitted in the residence houses.

Q: Will I be able to store my belongings over the summer?

Unfortunately, summer storage in any capacity is not permitted in the residence houses. The summer is the ideal time for conferences, maintenance and repairs in our houses and belongings would hinder this process. Local businesses do offer storage. Otherwise, any belongings left in rooms will be discarded.
