Residence life at Anna Maria College is guided by our philosophy: To build a close-knit community based on the Roman Catholic value system, promoting the intellectual and personal growth of each student. To encourage personal responsibility, respect, religious and moral sensitivity, social awareness, and freedom of thought in all student residents. To support students who are committed to the Mission of the College and the ideals of the Sisters of Saint Anne.

Housing assignments for incoming students are based upon the date the student deposits to the College. To apply for housing, complete the Housing Agreement. The Housing Agreement provides an opportunity for students to share their housing preferences, request a roommate and provide information that our staff will use to help pair you with a roommate if needed. The Housing Agreement also outlines the policies and expectations for residential students. Incoming students should complete their Housing Agreement no later than July 26th. Housing assignments and roommate information will be sent to all incoming students via their AMC email account no later than August 1st. We recommend that New Resident Students review this list to assist with items that you will need as you plan to move on campus this fall. For Upperclass Students Upperclass students select their housing assignments by participating in the housing lottery. The dates for the housing selection will be announced early each Spring and typically occur during March and April. Selection of rooms by students eligible for Housing Lottery will be based on current class standing. All eligible students will be randomly assigned a number based upon their current class standing. Roommates will use the lowest number assigned. (This means that rising seniors will be assigned the “best” numbers, then rising juniors followed by rising sophomores). The number assigned to a student cannot be transferred to another student. Honors students will be giving the best (lowest) numbers within their class. Any specialty rooms must be full to be chosen. Specialty rooms include, but are not limited to, suites, quads, triples and any other non-standard double rooms. Swaps between specialty rooms after the semester has begun must have the approval from the Director of Residence Life and will not be approved if the move is designed to “beat” the system. Majority Rule: When choosing a room/suite the highest number of the majority class rules. Please see the examples below. 3 Seniors and 3 Juniors = may select using a senior # 3 Junior, 2 Seniors, 1 Sophomore = may select using a junior # not a senior # 2 sophomores, 1 junior, 1 senior = may select using a sophomore # 2 senior, 2 junior, 2 sophomores = may select using a junior # The Residence Life Office reserves the right to reassign students to other rooms if the specialty room falls below full capacity at any time before opening day. There will be a handful of traditional double rooms available for flex fill. This means that if you are coming through lottery without being part of a roommate pair you will still be able to select a bed. The second bed will be randomly assigned to another students. Lottery participants may not “hold” a space for those not eligible for lottery. How does Housing Lottery work? I need to cancel my housing. What do I do? I’m in need of a single due to medical needs. What should I do? Living Learning Communities Living Learning Communities (or LLCs for short) are intentional communities where students of common interests or academic backgrounds live together. Participation is optional and only a short application is needed to join a community. For the 2020-2021, academic year we are excited to offer two new communities in the first year and transfer area. Benefits of participating in a LLC include feeling an immediate sense of connection to both Anna Maria and your residential community. You will be living with students with similar interests and have opportunities to build close knit relationships with a variety of faculty and staff members. There will be additional social programs for your specific community and research shows that students who participate in LLCs often have a higher GPA and higher retention rate than their peers.
