Get the full college experience! Take a break from studying in your room and attend a yoga class in the residence hall lounge, grab a meal at one of our five dining centers (many of our residence halls are connected to one) and don't worry about being late to class with all of the academic buildings just a short stroll away.
Each of our 13 residence buildings offers a unique community for you to focus on learning and developing new social networks. For many students, the shared experiences and friendships made last a lifetime.
Just like our students, all of our buildings have different personalities. We have contemporary corridor-style halls, older halls designed to reflect the tradition of Oswego, apartments, suites and even our own village. You can choose your housing based on academic interests, location and layout. All freshmen and sophomores are required to live on campus.
Our Living-Learning Communities bring students with shared interests, passions or academic pursuits together in a shared residential environment. When you join one of these communities, you'll have all the benefits of on-campus living plus additional advantages that include connections with dedicated faculty and student leaders, and opportunities to enhance your academic and personal experiences through community programs and social connections.
Living on campus has allowed me to stay more connected, make lifelong connections, and have a family away from home.
Each of our residential communities is designed to provide you with a memorable and inclusive home-away-from-home experience.
Resembling a small neighborhood on campus, The Village Townhouses are like living in your own home on campus. Complete with living room and kitchen areas.
