There are no residence halls exclusively for first-year students. All of the residence halls are coed and, except for the senior apartments, all of them mix students from all four classes. Because class years are integrated in the residence halls, students are more quickly acclimated and better immersed into the life of the College.

The residence halls offer a great deal of variety, not only in location and style, but with several housing options available:

• Substance-free halls provide an environment free from alcohol, tobacco, and other substances. More than 15 percent of students choose to live in substance-free halls each year and sign a pledge agreeing to adhere to this philosophy.
  
• A Quiet Hall with extended quiet hours is available for interested students.
  
• Students with special dietary restrictions are eligible to live in the Co-Op in Mary Low Hall with access to a kitchen for meal preparation.
  
• Dialogue Housing is offered on an annual, renewable basis. The program gives students the option of spending two semesters directly linking academic, residential, and social experiences.
