Dorm Life

In the time-honored tradition of English boarding schools, Emma Willard’s dormitories are all connected to each other—in fact, most of the campus is linked by a series of underground passages. Day students are strongly encouraged to share in dorm life and are officially affiliated with a hall of 10 to 25 girls whose rooms range from singles to doubles and suites. Each hall has its own gathering space, or alcove, with kitchenettes and comfortable furniture to keep snackers coming and the conversation going.

Whether you live on Sage Zoo, Kellas Long, Hyphen 2, or another hall, there’s always someone to talk to or a quiet space to decompress from the day. Senior proctors, peer educators, and houseparents are all on hand to discuss the little and big things that make life interesting. Many faculty members act as dorm affiliates, stopping by at least one evening each week to offer academic support or advice. Dogs, cats, and toddlers help the residence halls feel even more like home.

Students on a hall routinely come together for a casual tea to mark the end of study hours. Menus range from pizza to birthday cake to ice cream sundaes.

“Sometimes I look around here and find it hard to believe a school can be this beautiful. But then I realize that it’s more than a school, it’s a home.” Emily, 9th grade
