Led by the Office of Residential Life, Kenyon’s residential experience fosters learning, promotes responsibility and advocacy encourages inclusion. Kenyon's students are members of an engaged and dynamic community, where the collaborative thinking and dynamic conversations of the classroom extends to residential life.
Kenyon offers a variety of on-campus housing options, from traditional residence halls to College-owned apartments to themed housing. First-year students live in residence halls grouped together on the northern end of campus, with easy access to communal events and peer-run programming.
Housing Options
First-year rooms are usually doubles, with a few singles and triples in the mix. All Kenyon residences are smoke-free. After your first year, options include traditional residence halls, modern apartments and houses based on shared interests and themes. Kenyon also offers gender inclusive and substance-free housing.
Housing Selection Process
In a typical academic year, returning students make their housing selection via an online housing management system in spring. First-year students receive their housing and roommate assignments in mid-summer.
