Residence Life

Residence Life administers the College’s residential housing program and offers students a variety of choices for living on campus.

To help students find their niche socially and academically, every residence hall has a unique community experience designed to engage and connect its residents.

Each of Geneseo’s Residence Halls are intentional spaces that function to contribute to student learning. Browse our housing options to find the community that’s right for you.

The primary responsibility of Move-In Volunteers is to help “lighten the load” for students as they move into the residence halls. Volunteers must return to campus on Friday, August 14th. Volunteers will work approximately 8 – 10 hours throughout both move-in days. Most of these hours will be concentrated on the goal of successfully assisting first year/transfer students and their families to move into their new residence hall space on Tuesday, August 18th, 2026 and returning students on Friday, August 21st, 2026. Carrying personal items is a large part of this role. Volunteers may also take part in traffic control and driving vehicles to assist returning students as they move into the residence halls.

To apply to be a move in volunteer please do on on our online application.

Room changes will reopen approximately 10 days after August move-in. General room changes are only able to be processed after all housing vacancies are verified at the start of each semester and if space permits. They will not occur during the opening or closing weeks of each semester and in the summer months while students are being placed. We are typically able to offer a short room change period after first year assignments come out in July however it is not guaranteed.
