Allegheny College has an on-campus living requirement, which states that students must reside on-campus for a total of six semesters during their first three years of college. To underscore our residential commitment, the College guarantees housing space to all students who sign a housing contract. When more College housing becomes available, upper-class students may also be required to live on campus. For further details about this policy, please see the "Residence Hall Contract and Refund Policy" in the Admissions and Financial Information section of the Catalogue.
Residence halls offer students many options in living styles. These include all-male, all-female, and co-ed buildings and rooms configured as suites, singles, doubles, triples, and quads. Additionally, floors designated as wellness (focused on healthy lifestyles), community service, and quiet study (24-hour quiet) are available. Some College-owned houses are also organized around special interest themes such as language, culture, or academic programs.
Also available are two apartment complexes, as well as two fraternity houses.
