Info For
Living in a residence hall at Elmira College gives you the chance to have a true college experience. You get to meet your classmates, other students, join in activities, and just hang out.
From traditional-style dorms to apartment-style options, you’ll find each has its own characteristics.
First-year students are typically placed in Anderson, Columbia, or Tompkins Halls, while upperclassmen can choose from a residence hall, one of the Cottages apartments, a suite-style room, or even a single room. Wherever you stay, it will quickly become your home on campus.
More than just a place to sleep, your residence hall is where you can relax, study, and connect with friends. Each residence offers free washers and dryers, plus a cozy TV lounge.
Depending on which hall you call home, you might play piano, challenge a neighbor to a ping-pong match, unwind by the fireplace, or shoot a game of pool. Every hall has its own unique amenities, warmth, and charm such as:
The small size of our first-year residence halls fosters a communal atmosphere to help you transition to college life.
A variety of campus student housing options are available for upperclassmen at Elmira College.
It’s easier to adjust to college life when you have someone in your corner. That’s why Elmira makes sure that every residence hall is supervised by a professional staff member. The Community Coordinator (CC) lives in the building and is responsible for making sure the hall runs smoothly. Each floor has a specially trained student staff member called the Resident Assistant (RA). These are the people who you can go to for advice, for help with an issue, or just to have a talk.
Think of your residence hall as your home base during your time here. First-year students are assigned to a hall based on their preferences submitted at Summer Orientation, allowing them to live alongside classmates and build a supportive Elmira community together. Returning students select their residence halls for the upcoming academic year through the Housing Selection process, which takes place during Term II.
