Make campus home

At Skidmore, campus housing keeps students close to classes, dining, activities, friends, and support. Students of all class years live in eight residence halls grouped in two residential quads, while Northwoods Village and Sussman Village apartments are home mostly to seniors and some juniors. Seven of eight residence halls offer suite-style living, and apartments add kitchens and shared living spaces for greater independence.

Students can also choose Special Interest Communities centered on shared interests, identities, and ways of living, from sustainability and global perspectives to LGBTQ+ community, quiet living, and substance-free housing.

Before arrival, all Skidmore students should review:
