On-campus housing is guaranteed for all your undergraduate years at Lafayette. First-year students are required to live on campus unless they commute from their parents' home, and will most likely live in one of the traditional residence halls with a roommate. As you progress toward senior year, the variety available to you increases. Three halls are single gender, one for men, and two for women, and the majority of rooms are doubles.
Most buildings are coeducational, either by floor or by room.
A limited number of suite arrangements are featured in two halls. Descriptions of each residence building are available. Each room has a bed, desk, chair, bookshelf, dresser, and closet for each student. Each room has a telephone jack, a cable connection, and a link to the campus computer network. You can send email to your friends right from your computer in your room.
