Residence Halls

Your residence hall is your home away from home while you are with us at Washington College. Explore our housing areas and learn about each of our buildings & communities below!

Information will be sent out frequently throughout the semester. It is critical that students check their email and pay attention to deadlines. If you have any questions, please e-mail [email protected]. Please be aware that Residential Life does not provide off campus housing and, due to feedback from students and their desire to live where they choose, there is no Presidential Fellows themed house. Presidential Fellows can request to have another Fellows as a roommate if desired.

Themed Housing

Themed housing can help you explore your interests outside of the classroom while connecting students who share your interest. Our themed housing options are listed below:

Science House - Kent Hall

All science and math related majors are welcome! Research has shown that STEM residence halls increases student persistence and success in their field, especially for women.

How does simply housing STEM students together help? Environment matters, visibility matters.

  • Studying together
  • Seeing others daily persisting in classes
  • Supporting each other now and as they progress in their studies and fields
  • Making friendships that will forge professional connections in the future

What kind of classes are we talking about?

Bio 112 and Chem 112 are perfect examples of classes where first year students greatly benefit from living in the same hall.

How do I request to live there? On your Housing Preference Form, it is question # 20. As staff assign students,those who request will be placed there. If spaces are still available, staff will assign people who have expressed interest in a STEM major.
