Residence Halls
A major component of the
college educational experience
is for students to learn to live
on their own. Utica College
provides on-campus housing to
enhance intellectual, social, and
cultural development through
the experience of living with
other individuals who bring a
variety of social and cultural
backgrounds to the community.
UC’s Residence Life program is intended to complement the student’s
academic career. The professional and paraprofessional (student) residence
hall staffs are dedicated to the intellectual, cultural, and social growth of each
resident student. Residence hall activities and staff counseling services are pro-
vided to help students benefit from this facet of the total college experience in
a living and learning environment.
Each room in the residence hall is furnished with twin-sized beds, desks,
chairs, dressers, closets, a floor lamp or ceiling light, and draperies. Students
are expected to supply their own study lamps, blankets, bedspreads, bed linen,
towels, pillows, and other personal items. Included with the housing informa-
tion packet and available on the Residence Life Web page is a “packing guide”
that outlines other recommended items to bring or not to bring to campus.
Washing machines and dryers are available in each residence hall, and are free
for all residential students. Vending machines are located in each hall with the
exception of Alumni Hall. All residence halls are smoke-free.
Room and board are contracted for two semesters except for seniors
graduating at mid-year or students leaving for affiliations/internships. All
freshmen are required to live in College residence for their first two years,
unless residing with their parent or legal guardian. Housing forms will be
mailed to accepted students with their Accepted Student Packet from the
Office of Admissions. Room assignments generally are made prior to new stu-
dents’ arrival on campus, and the name(s) of and contact information for the
assigned roommate(s) are mailed to students in early August.
