Your Home. You're Home.
With the right investment and engagement, living on campus can change your life! While living in the residence halls, you will never again be closer to the heart of the WPI experience. There will be countless opportunities for collaborations on projects, conversations on world issues, and social connections with Goats from across the globe.
Students who live on campus are more likely to interact with professors outside of class, attend cultural events, seek employment on campus, and participate in clubs and organizations. By getting involved, students develop an identity with the larger University community, quickly develop social networks, and find opportunities for intellectual, spiritual, physical, and occupational growth.
As a resident, you'll be within easy walking distance to classrooms, dining halls, the Sports & Recreation Center, and campus activities, and will gain a greater sense of connection with the university and with the people you will meet. Our hope is that living on campus provides you with an experience you can look back on and realize how much you have learned and grown, both academically and socially.
