To underscore our residential commitment, the College guarantees housing space to all students who sign a housing contract. When more College housing becomes available, upperclass students may also be required to live on campus. The Office of Residence Life, located in Reis Hall, directly serves students living in College-owned housing and offers support to students in a number of areas. These areas include educational and social programming, assisting with roommate and personal concerns, and addressing maintenance issues in College residences. The office staff includes the Director of Residence Life, an Assistant Director and an office support person.
Residence halls offer students many options in living styles.
Some College-owned houses are also organized around special interest themes such as language, culture, or academic programs. Allegheny students are allowed to take advantage of the room personalization policy. This policy allows students to contract with the Office of Residence Life to make changes to their rooms which make them more comfortable and attractive. Students will not be permitted in residence halls prior to the official hall opening and will not be allowed to stay past the official closing. The residence halls are open during Fall and Spring breaks, and are closed between semesters.
