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.

Room Changes are open at this time through an application in Symplicity. We anticipate closing room changes just prior to Thanksgiving Break.

While our Room changes are open for most of the year, they cannot occur during the opening or closing weeks of each semester and in the summer months while students are being placed.

Rising Junior and Senior students (by class year) are given the ability to participate in an Early Access Selection for spaces in the independent living areas of Saratoga or Ontario for the next academic year (2027-2028) as they are no longer Residency Required. Information about this process will go out to students at the end of September with applications and selection occurring in October. As a reminder, students who participate in this process are signing a financially binding contract to live on campus for the 2027-2028 academic year and should be sure prior to selecting. Releases are rare. For more information see our website for this process.
