You'll learn more by living with a person who is studying in a different field than you ever imagined possible.
All residence halls are within easy walking distance of the academic and recreational buildings.
The campus master plan deliberately clusters the buildings to leave woods, meadows and large open vistas. Bring your bike, your jogging shoes, your frisbee and your roller blades, because Purchase is a fabulous place to enjoy the outdoors. Each wing offers singles, doubles, and suites for two, four, or six persons with a common lounge. Residents share single-sex bathrooms. A large central dining hall and a snack bar offer a wide variety of food options.
