About Josselyn House

Josselyn House is a house-style residence accommodating approximately 40–50 students in a more intimate setting than Vassar's large corridor halls. Semi-private bathrooms serve adjacent rooms, and the house's smaller scale encourages closer bonds among residents than are typical in buildings twice its size. Josselyn has no central AC and follows the broader Vassar house model, with an RA and house programming that keeps community life active throughout the year. The building is a popular choice in the draw for students who want the feel of a house community — social, self-aware, and relatively tight-knit — without committing to a more specialized program like Ferry or the co-op.
