Graduate On-Campus Housing
The Graduate School, in partnership with the office of Residence Life, looks forward to making your graduate living arrangements as comfortable and supportive as possible.
Living on campus is a great way to meet graduate students from around the globe. It’s also a great way to learn and grow outside of labs and classrooms. When you live on the Hood College campus, you’ll have the opportunity to expand your network, connect with the broader campus community, make long-lasting friendships and develop the skills essential for a successful career.
On-campus graduate housing is available on a limited-basis (first-come, first-served). We offer single rooms in the Coblentz Hall and Shriner Hall, along with a premium graduate house on Rosemont Ave. Whichever accommodation you receive, you will feel at home amongst other mature graduate students on grad-only floors and houses. Accommodation is available for students with documented special needs.
General Information
