Residence Life
Welcome to the Ramily
We craft a campus environment designed for living and learning with a diverse family of athletes, gamers, activists, originators, artists, musicians, volunteers, and leaders. You’ll expand your horizons and create bonds with those who share your interests and passions. Want to immerse yourself in an inclusive environment that promotes personal growth, well-being, and academic success? You’ve found a home at Cornell.
What is it like to live on campus?
Collegiate living is a transition we want to help you navigate. Live-in resident assistants, roommate communal agreements, and vibrant communities provide opportunities for students to live and learn outside the classroom.
Thanks to the block plan, you'll follow the same typical daily schedule as every other student on campus, making it easier to connect and form lasting relationships.
What are the housing options at Cornell?
There are nine residence halls and several apartment and housing options. Wherever you live, you’ll find an inclusive and supportive environment with unique opportunities to pursue your interests. Want to live with those who share your passions? Be part of our first-year themed living communities. Want to dig deep into a topic, hobby, or cause? Join one of our living and learning communities in your sophomore or junior year.
