Student Housing

Williams is a residential college, and the majority of our students live in campus housing. Our buildings range in size from small co-operatives where senior students cook and clean for themselves, to larger residence halls divided into suites and groups.

First Year Housing

First-year students live in "entries" of approximately twenty-five students, headed by a pair of Junior Advisors (JAs). JAs are third-year students who provide support, friendship, and advice to their first-year residents. Together they share six residence halls -- Sage, Williams, Mills, Dennett, Armstrong, and Pratt. First-year students are housed in both singles and doubles. First years are affiliated to each neighborhood through their entry, and are eligible to participate in Neighborhood life.

Upper Class Student Housing & Floor plans

Upperclass students live in houses that belong to four Neighborhoods -- Currier, Wood, Spencer, and Dodd. Upper class student housing is comprised of singles, doubles, and suites, though approximately 75% of upper class students live in singles. Williams has no fraternities, sororities, or special-interest housing. Follow the links below for more information about each neighborhood, including floor plans of each building within that neighborhood.

Co-Ops

Co-Ops are small houses where senior students live in small groups and cook and clean for themselves. Co-Ops provide students with a more independent living experience, however the houses are close enough to campus to provide connections to the rest of the community. All students who live in Co-Ops are also members of a neighborhood, and have the rights and privileges granted to them as members.

Maintenance & Keys

Please note that housing maintenance issues should be reported to the Facilities Service Line at x2486.  Issues regarding custodial service, keys, opening and closing of the residences throughout the year, billing, etc., are coordinated and conducted through the Facilities Services office.
