Housing & Meals

Alumnae and students at dinner

Reserve your on-campus housing and meals when you register. The cost is $160 per single bed and includes breakfast. The fee cannot be prorated on a per-night basis. Housing is complimentary for 70th to 80th Reunion classes (1953, 1948, and 1943) and meals are complimentary for 65th to 80th Reunion classes. Room assignments are given when you arrive on campus.

Housing

Alums and guests will be housed with their reuning classmates in multiple houses assigned to the class. Housing will be located in or near class headquarters, which is the main gathering place for alums. Please note: Seniors and many undergraduates are still in residence in most houses through Reunion I weekend, and the number of rooms available will dictate how many houses are assigned for each class, as well as their proximity to each other.

  • Housing is reserved by the bed, not by the room.
  • The housing fee is $160 per person per bed. The package rate includes Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, with hot breakfast on Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. This fee cannot be prorated on a per-night basis.
  • Room assignments will be issued when you check in.
  • Alums will be grouped by class year whenever possible.
  • Please do not bring valuables as you will not receive a key to your room. Though each residence hall is secured with a keycard, the college does not issue keys to individual rooms. We encourage alums to leave valuables at home. (The exception to this is Cutter Ziskind in which all rooms are secured with a key card.)
  • Children may stay in a parent’s room at no extra charge; however, sleeping bags, porta-cribs and linens should be brought from home.
  • Guests are accommodated in the student residences whenever possible.
  • There are no special housing or restroom arrangements for male guests or children. 
  • Smoking is prohibited and pets are not allowed in campus buildings (with the exception of certified service animals).
  • Refrigerators are available in house kitchenettes only.

 

Student residences have:

  • Single beds (some double rooms with two single beds are available and used for families and/or couples)
  • Two to four flights of stairs
  • Rooms that may be warm or cool, depending on unpredictable New England weather in May
  • Community bathrooms
  • Noise (depending upon other residents in the house)
  • Some have elevators (Chase/Duckett, Comstock, Cutter/Ziskind, King/Scales, Lamont, Northrop/Gillett, and Wilder Houses)
  • Bedding (sheet, blanket, pillow, pillowcase) and towels (bath towel, face cloth, bar of soap)

Student residences do not have:

  • Air conditioning (except Cutter/Ziskind) or fans
  • Private bathrooms
  • Bedside reading lamps
  • Quilts (extra blankets are available)

Off-Campus Housing

If on-campus housing is not for you, you may prefer to stay in a hotel, motel or B&B in the Northampton area.
