With over 35 majors and minor areas of concentration, Elmira College lays the foundation for a diverse, cross discipline education, encouraging you to both specialize and explore.
Living in a residence hall at Elmira College gives you the chance to have a true college experience. You get to meet your classmates, other students, join in activities, and just hang out.
From traditional-style dorms to apartment-style options, you’ll find each has its own characteristics.
First-year students are generally placed in Anderson or Columbia Halls while upperclassmen have their choice of a hall, one of the Cottages, a suite-style room, or even a single room. Wherever you stay, it will soon become your home on campus.
More than a place to sleep, your residence hall is a place to relax, study and connect with friends. In each residence, there is a free washer and dryer, along with a TV lounge. Depending on which hall you live in, you can play piano, challenge your neighbor to a ping-pong match, chill in front of the fireplace, or shoot a game of pool. Each hall has unique amenities, warmth, and charm, such as:
The small size of our first-year residence halls fosters a communal atmosphere to help you transition to college life.
A variety of campus student housing options are available for upperclassmen at Elmira College.
It’s easier to adjust to college life when you have someone in your corner. That’s why Elmira makes sure that every residence hall is supervised by a professional staff member. The Community Coordinator (CC) lives in the building and is responsible for making sure the hall runs smoothly. Each floor has a specially trained student staff member called the Resident Assistant (RA). These are the people who you can go to for advice, for help with an issue, or just to have a talk.
Think of your residence hall as your home base while you’re here. First-year students are assigned to a hall with their classmates so they can build their Elmira community while encouraging and supporting each other. Upperclassmen use the Housing Selection process to select their residence hall.
