In early August, our first-year class moves in for Language and Thinking. In their first year on campus, students live in halls that predominantly house other first-year students. This page goes over our housing application, roommate matching and housing assignment process, and what you need to know before you arrive on campus.
First-Year Housing
All first-year, unmoderated students are required to live on campus and are assigned to live with at least one roommate.* First-year students are assigned housing based on the timely submission of a Housing Profile and Facility Use Agreement form, found on MyAnnandale. Although it is often difficult to fulfill specific requests, every effort is made by the Office of Residence Life and Housing to do so. Students are typically notified of their placement by mid-July via their Bard email, which is assigned in June. Students are housed for Language and Thinking in their permanent room assignments.
What Makes First-Year Housing at Bard Unique?
