As a new student at Hamilton, you have your choice of coed or single-sex by hallways. You can can also choose gender neutral housing by indicating the need or preference on your housing questionnaire. This means you would share a room with students regardless of their biological sex or gender expression.
You can also choose to live in substance-free (no alcohol) or quiet designated areas on campus. All residence halls are smoke-free.
Triples and quads at Hamilton are usually two-room areas. That means that you can use one room as a ‘living room’ and the other as a bedroom, depending on what you and your roommates prefer. The majority of doubles are one room areas. Windows come with either shades or blinds.
Carpeting and types of flooring in the rooms can be checked in the individual hall descriptions.
We provide each student with a bed, dresser, desk, desk chair, mirror, a small closet/wardrobe. Please note: we are in the process gradually replacing our residence hall furniture; some rooms may have upgraded furniture and other rooms may not. This furniture replacement is an on-going project and will continue over the next few years. Each room has cable and computer network jacks and the capability of having a telephone line on the College Telephone System. For more information please email telephone@hamilton.edu.
