First-Year Residential Experience

All of our first-year residence halls are located on the Mount Carmel Campus along Bobcat Way. You’ll be close to the Carl Hansen Student Center, dining options, the Athletic and Recreation Center, academic buildings and the Arnold Bernhard Library. In addition, the campus is connected to York Hill Campus and North Haven Campus — as well as the surrounding area, including dining, shopping and entertainment options — by a free shuttle system.

At Quinnipiac, all incoming students are required to reside on campus during their first three years of enrollment. That’s because living on campus provides a comfortable and convenient home base near to all the action, and the resources that will help you thrive academically and socially. You will become fully immersed in our campus life and culture, and be close to places you can quietly study, relax, or enjoy a meal with friends.

Residence halls where first-year students live are:

• Dana English Hall
• Irmagarde Tator Hall
• Mountainview
• The Commons
• The Ledges

The First-Year Residential Experience (FYRE) at Quinnipiac provides a dynamic, engaging and supportive environment for you to transition to college life. This cohesive team of student staff and professional staff strives to develop a safe, welcoming and inclusive community. Our focus is first and foremost the well-being of our students.

All first-year residents' experiences are supported by:

• 48 Resident Assistants (RAs)
• 4 full-time professional Residence Hall Directors
• 1 Assistant Director of Residential Life for the first-year area
• A residental curriculum encompassing:
  • Personal competence
  • Societal competence
  • Interpersonal competence
  • Practical competence
• Hundreds of programs throughout the academic year (about 3 per day).

In the FYRE community, we hope to be the spark that ignites a passion for lifelong learning both in and out of the classroom.

Once you have your housing assignment (which you typically receive in early August), we recommend contacting your future roommate(s) to coordinate what large items you wish to bring or share, such as a TV, rug or refrigerator.
