 
Ward Manor, located in North Campus, is one of the river estates that the College acquired early in the 20th century. The spectacular building is now used as housing for upper-class students. Residents enjoy spectacular views of the nearby Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts.
The Office of Residence Lifeis committed to fostering a clean, safe environment for the personal, social and intellectual development of every student to enrich the liberal arts experience. We seek to empower and challenge students to become individuals, citizens, and leaders who understand their responsibility in creating effective and socially just communities at Bard and beyond.
Residence Halls
The Bard campus offers more than 40 student residences that embrace a wide range
of architectural characteristics, social styles, and sizes. All have Internet access,
social rooms, kitchens, and laundries, and many boast beautiful views of the Catskill
Mountains to the west. Most residence halls are coed, and roughly one-third of the
rooms are singles. While residences are within easy walking or biking distance of all
academic and recreational facilities on campus, the College operates a regularly
scheduled shuttle bus that makes stops on campus and goes to the nearby communities
of Red Hook, Tivoli, and Rhinebeck.

Dining
Students who live on campus—and most do—take the meal plan, which offers flexible
menus (including vegetarian, vegan, and limited kosher and halal selections) and
extended meal times in the campus dining commons. The meal card is also legal tender
in the two cafes on campus and at the Green Onion, a campus grocery store.
Student Support
Another aspect of residence life is the support provided by peer counselors and area coordinators, who help develop programs and activities and create an environment
conducive to academic engagement and safe community living.
The Village Dorms, offer housing for Upper College students. Positioned within a forested area to be as invisible as possible, the Village Dorms were built to be ecologically friendly: energy-saving halogen lights are used in hallways and rooms, and the dorms are heated and cooled by underground wells whose temperature remains a constant 56–57 °F.
