Residency on Campus
Living on campus is an integral part of your educational experience and the perfect opportunity to grow as a Gator. Allegheny College requires that you live on campus throughout your time here.

On-Campus Housing Options
You have a variety of living options to choose from on campus. First years are generally housed in traditional residence halls, while upperclass students can choose to live in traditional housing, apartment/suite style housing, or independent living in one of our College-owned houses. Our residence halls offer gender inclusive floors, gendered floors, and all female living spaces. If you’re looking for a housing option that suits your interests, you can also choose to live in one of our special interest options, such as foreign languages, religious groups, sustainability, and animal welfare. Where do you want to live?
Residence Halls Gender Inclusive Housing Special Interest HousingLife at Allegheny
From taking a fitness class to enjoying a late-night snack, there are plenty of things for you to do on campus that make living at Allegheny feel like you are right at home.
Home to the Allegheny Gateway and the Maytum Learning Commons, the Academic Commons is a space especially designed for student success. From its 350,000 volumes of books, movable furniture (which makes collaboration easy), and your very own research station, the Academic Commons is a hub for academic support.
From major campus events to late-night snack runs and student government meetings, you’ll end up at the Campus Center, also known as the CC. It houses the student-run Grounds for Change coffeehouse, WARC radio, the game room, bookstore, and post office.
Weekend Activities
Campus organizations such as Gator Activity Programming (GAP) and Late Night provide plenty of activities for you, such as comedians, hypnotists, movies, academic and athletic competitions, card games, concerts, arts and crafts, and video games. The Outing Club frequently hosts hiking, canoeing, and camping trips.
