Undergraduate Housing
Our progressive independence residential model offers a broad range of ways to live together with your fellow students, depending on how much independence you’re looking for, where you are in your academic journey, and where your interests lie. Almost all of our students live on campus for their full undergraduate experience, making Wesleyan an uncommonly close community. There’s a place for everyone to belong and live their life to the fullest.

Living and Learning Together
Program housing is a distinct living option for sophomores, juniors, and seniors. You can join like-minded students in a house, hall, or society, based on your shared academic goals, co-curriculars, experiences, cultural interests, and identities. Program houses provide educational and cultural, campus-inclusive programming that benefits house residents and the community at large.
