New Student Housing

WELCOME TO MIDDLEBURY!

You will be arriving at Middlebury in September or February as a First-Year, Transfer or Exchange Student. You should use this webpage and the Middlebury College Undergraduate Housing website as your first source for information about things specific to housing at Middlebury.  For more general informatin visit the Commons System and Residential Life webpage.

Every new student is required to complete a Housing Agreement Contract and is encouraged to also submit a Housing Questionnaire.

 

HOUSING AGREEMENT CONTRACTS outline a student's obligation to be a good roommate, neighbor and member of any and all residential communities in which they may reside throughout his/her time at the College.

HOUSING QUESTIONNAIRES provide the Residential Systems Coordinator (RSC) and those who assist with housing assignments with insight about you, your life-style and interests. Our goal is to create room/suite and hall mate matches which will not only support individual student needs but also introduce students to others who may have different perspectives.

It is important for a student to recognize that their individual housing desires and needs must be balanced against those of all other students as well as the initiatives of the College.

Students are not guaranteed any specific type of housing assignment during their time at the College although the RSC does make an effort to consider requests and work with individual students.

First-year Fall Term students are generally housed within commons communities with other first-year students.  FEB first-year arrivals are placed whenever possible in small groups within general student housing across campus (sometimes in commons communities).  Transfer and Exchange students are housed based on the location of available beds as well as a student's individual factors.  FEB arrivals may be placed with another new arrival or with a student who has been on, or is returning to, campus.

 

New Student Form Submission Deadlines:

  • First-Year students arriving in September must submit their forms by June 22, 2012.
  • Transfer and Exchange students arriving in September must submit their forms by August 1, 2012.
  • New students (First-Years and Exchanges), arriving in February please plan to submit your forms between August 10 and October 30, 2012.
  • Questionnaires submitted by Transfer FEBS will be given as much consideration as time allows during the spring term housing process.  Whenever possible please do not delay in submitting your form.

If there are concerns/questions about housing, parents are encouraged to allow their students to contact the RSC, Karin Hall-Kolts, themselves. Requests for special housing considerations must be discussed directly with a student; doing so will help to foster open lines of communication and educate the student on how to address any further inquires they may have during their time at the College.

New Students, please take a moment to complete a one minute survey from the Scott Center for Spiritual and Religious Life which will help that office better serve the college community. This survey is optional and will not have an effect on your housing assignment.

Proceed to complete your Housing Contract and Questionnaire.

Questions regarding housing? Please email the Residential Systems Coordinator, Karin Hall-Kolts khall@middlebury.edu.
