Residence Life
Cornell is a residential college where students enjoy the values and benefits of community living. Students are required to live on campus in one of the traditional residence halls or in a campus apartment unless they live with their parents in the Mount Vernon area; have completed eight semesters in residence; are married; or are more than 25 years old. Permission for these exceptions must be obtained through the Dean of Students.
The various College residence halls, houses, and apartments differ in size, architecture, style, and atmosphere. Some are coed and some are single-sex buildings. All are located within easy walking distance of the classroom buildings, the Library, The Commons, and the Life Sports Center. The oldest residence hall was built in 1885 and the newest in 1984. A few single rooms are available and are assigned according to seniority.
An activity fee is assessed for all residence hall students in order to provide funding for social and educational activities in the buildings. The programs are generally coordinated by House Councils, the Residence Hall Association, and the Resident Assistant (RA) staff. Student RAs live on each floor to help with building management and to offer assistance and direction to residents. The Director and Assistant Directors of Residence Life administer and provide leadership for the residence life program.
