About the Office of Residential Life
In cooperation with the academic mission of the college, the Office of Residential Life is committed to creating and maintaining an inclusive residential environment that is dedicated to the development of the whole student. The residential life staff strives to provide a safe, comfortable, and educational space. All members of the community are invited to engage in formal and informal dialogue and programming efforts complementary and tangential to the in-class pursuit. Members of the Office of Residential Life serve as advocates for students through advising, counseling, and acting as a conduit for the maintenance of the physical environment. The staff values empowering and equipping students to become leaders on campus and beyond.
Residential life at Vassar provides students with a living and learning environment that supports the academic experience. We accomplish this goal by working cooperatively with our faculty in residence and student leaders in providing social, educational, and cultural programs in the residence halls.
The residence halls at Vassar are as diversified as the students who live within them. Each building takes on a character of its own. This can be seen not only in the diversity of their architecture, but more importantly in the people who reside in these buildings. You will become a part of a community unlike any you have ever experienced before. As a student, you will hear your residence hall called everything from a house to a dorm to a hall to a building. Our hope is that you will be comfortable enough in your surroundings after a while to call where you live your home!
