On-Campus Housing FAQs

How do I decide whether to stay on campus or in a hotel?
Alumni who want to be near friends or bring their families back to campus for a casual weekend generally enjoy staying in the residence halls. If you are looking for a romantic or full-service get-away, the dorms are probably not your best option. Staying in the dorms is convenient and economical, but it is not luxurious. Remember how uncomfortable those mattresses are? If you prefer hotel accommodations, please make your reservations soon!

How much will campus housing cost?
$65 per person/per night.

When and where can I sign up to stay on-campus?
You may request on-campus housing through the Reunion Weekend online registration form. The official registration form will be available in March 2027.

What should I bring?
Linens, blankets, pillows and small towels are provided but not replenished throughout the weekend. Please note that the mattresses on campus are twin/extra long. Alumni should bring personal care items such as bathrobes, washcloths, soap, alarm clocks, slippers, hangers, and additional towels, pillows, blankets, and bedding if needed. Alumni with small children should bring supplies with them.

Which residence halls are used, and what are the rooms like?
Various residence halls will be used for Alumni Weekend Housing. All are air-conditioned. Most dorms offered are apartment style, with each apartment sleeping approximately 4-6 people, and featuring a common living area, bathroom, and kitchen. Sleeping rooms are equipped with single beds. Some sleeping rooms have only one bed, while others have two. Hotel style rooms are also available and include two single beds and one bathroom. Please indicate special accommodations needed on the registration form.

How is housing assigned?
On-campus housing is available to alumni who are registered for Reunion Weekend events. The Alumni Relations Office will assign on-campus housing to alumni who officially register. Every effort will be made for roommate requests and to house classes together. Walk-up registration for housing will not be available.

May I request roommates?
Alumni may request to be housed with or near other specific alumni. Roommate requests will be honored only if both parties request each other. If alumni do not state specific roommate requests, they may be assigned room/suite mates. Please do not register for other alumni outside your household/family.

How do I check-in and out of on-campus housing?
Room assignments and keys may be picked up at registration in the College Union Building (CUB/SUB) lobby during the hours listed in the schedule of events. Check-out is Sunday by 11:00 a.m. Be sure to return keys and key cards to the CUB/SUB lobby. There is a $150 charge for any key/key card not returned before leaving campus, as locks are replaced in these rooms on Monday morning.
