Housing


Living on campus is a core part of the Middlebury experience. Our residential housing is based on the philosophy that students working together with their roommates, neighbors and hallmates create a safe and supportive living and learning environment.

Residential Life coordinates housing placements and room selection processes for all students throughout the academic year. Below you will find more information about student housing at Middlebury.
