Residential Services

Welcome Class of 2016!

We are very excited that you have decided to come to WPI.  In looking at housing for your first year we have many options available.  Your first step in this process is to make sure that you pay your deposit and fill out the housing application on the Accepted Students Page.  We review all of the applications and match the preferences you indicate as best we can with a space and potential roommate(s). You will be notified of where you are living in the middle of July. 

To see some of the options that WPI has available for housing check out our residence halls and to get an idea of some of the things you will need when you get to campus check out this list.

Still Need Housing for Next Year?

We have a limited number of spaces remaining for upperclass housing in 2012-2013.  Please email Brian Burnham, Associate Director for more information.

Residence Hall Linens

Worcester Polytechnic Institute has been offering the Residence Hall Linens program since 1997. Students at Worcester Polytechnic Institute require specially-sized sheets, blankets and comforters to fit the campus's extra long mattresses. These extra-long beds (longer than 76 inches) are intended to maximize the comfort levels of every student. Our goal each year is to make sure students and parents have the right size residence hall bedding for move-in. XL sheets are more difficult to find, so we provide a variety of custom-sized linens sure to fit and guaranteed to last until graduation. We also have a large selection of extra-long comforters, extra-long mattress pads, extra-long thermal blankets, pillows, storage solutions and anything else you might need for your new room.  

Guarantee Your First Choice Today! Our best selection of college bedding and a guarantee of your first choice is available for parents and students who respond early. All our residence hall room bedding and accessories come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee right up to graduation. You may return your linens for a full refund if you are not satisfied for any reason. Visit www.rhl.org/wpi to view our full selection of colors and patterns and to place your order.
