Helping parents understand dorm options, safety, accessibility, and what to expect at Alfred University.
Alfred University requires all first-year and sophomore students to live in campus housing. First-year students are assigned to traditional residence halls; returning students participate in a spring housing lottery for traditional halls, suites, and apartment-style housing.
Housing Lottery: Upperclass students select housing through a spring lottery process. Priority is determined by class year, with juniors and seniors receiving earliest access to apartment-style units.
Living-Learning Communities: The university operates a 24/7 Resident Advisor on-call system and a suite of Living-Learning Communities across campus, connecting students with shared academic and personal interests.
Apartment Housing: Junior, senior, and graduate students may apply for University Apartments, which offer kitchen facilities and a more independent living environment.
