Upperclass students at Kenyon have the opportunity to live in traditional residence halls, apartments and houses distinguished by shared interests or campus organizations.

Residence Halls and Apartments

Program Houses

Crozier Center for Women, established in 1985, is named for Doris Crozier, the first and only dean of Kenyon's Coordinate College for Women (1969-72). It was designed to be used by all Kenyon women — students and members of the administration, faculty, staff and community. Housing is available to students through an application process in the spring. Located at 105 East Wiggin Street.

Hillel House (North Campus Apartment) serves Jewish students by providing religious, cultural and social opportunities to explore, enhance and celebrate their Jewish faith.

Snowden Multicultural Center serves as a resource and facility for celebrations, discussions, films, performances, lectures and special meals. The center also contains a library with a diverse collection of books, videos and other materials. Housing is available to students through an application process in the spring. Located at 100 E. Brooklyn Street.

Thomas House serves Muslim students by providing religious, cultural and social opportunities to explore, enhance and celebrate their Muslim faith.

Unity House offers a supportive, educational, social and cultural environment in order to enhance awareness and acceptance about gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and ally concerns throughout the Kenyon community.

Specialty Housing

Specialty housing (PDF) is granted to recognized student organizations who have applied, and been approved, for specialty housing by the Specialty Housing Board. The purpose of specialty housing is to allow student organizations to create vibrant and inclusive living communities that empower students to thrive academically, socially, and personally. 

Application Process

Organizations seeking specialty housing must be in good standing with the Office of Student Engagement and the Office of Residential Life. The group must be in existence for at least two years prior to applying for specialty housing. Proposals for new grants of specialty housing will be reviewed by the board in early February. Each written proposal must include: a detailed description of the mission of the organization, goals and how specialty housing supports their goals, how achieving goals will be measured, the reason(s) a specialty housing space is needed, and how the group plans to contribute to the greater Kenyon community.

Groups may submit proposals between Jan. 30 - Feb. 9, 2024, by emailing reslife@kenyon.edu and including their proposal as an attachment to the email.
