Residential Life
Living in Quinnipiac housing means you'll have all the resources you need to be successful.
First-year students will be welcomed by our helpful team of students, who will help move all your belongings into your new room on your first day.
Below are some of our suggestions for what to pack to make your space feel like home, as well as important dates regarding move-in and hall closings.
Once you have received your housing assignment (typically in early August), we recommend contacting your future roommate(s) to coordinate on which large items you each wish to bring or share, such as a TV, rug or refrigerator.
You may view your housing and roommate assignment by logging into MyHousing (student username and password required).
