In 1983 Saint Peter's College added residence living to the rich educational tradition of its history. The West Campus residences are furnished apartments housing from two to six students each. Common areas include a study lounge, chapel, and multi-purpose room in Veterans' Memorial Court.
Laundry facilities are available in each building.
Whelan Hall, opened in August 1993, is a more traditional style residence hall housing 160 students. Saint Peter Hall houses approximately 90 students in the former Jesuit Residence as well as administrative offices for several student services such as Financial Aid and Health Services. The Residence Halls are staffed by a variety of personnel including graduate assistants specializing in the area of student services, Resident Assistants, Desk Attendants, and a maintenance staff. Jesuits from the College also live in the residence halls. The Office of Residence Life is committed to the overall growth, development and education of the students living in the residence halls through structuring a positive living environment, with a focus on educational, cultural, and social programming.
