Reunion Housing

During Reunion 2010 and 2011, on-campus housing was sold out. If you are planning to attend Reunion 2012 we strongly recommend registering as early as possible for the best chance to be housed on campus. Some residence halls will be full by the end of April. Single rooms are limited.

Various housing options are available for alumni attending Reunion. For those who prefer to stay on campus, reunion classes will be housed together in residence halls whenever possible.

Rooms are assigned in order of reservations received. If you plan to room someone you will be assigned a room when both your registration and your roommate(s)' registration(s) have been received. If your registration form and payment were submitted online or postmarked by May 1, you will receive a confirmation of your reunion housing assignment in advance.

Families: If you plan to bring children with you to Reunion, please note that that if you register for beds for your children (vs bringing sleeping bags), it is possible you will be in two different rooms. Most residence halls rooms have two twin-size beds. Classes that traditionally bring more children are usually assigned to residence halls that have some triples, quads and quints.  If you have questions about these arrangements, please call the alumni relations office at 800-729-2586. In 2011 we welcomed more than 330 children to campus for the weekend.

On-campus check-in for Reunion 2012 begins Thursday, June 14, at 3 p.m. Residence halls will not be open before that time (facilities staff are working hard up to that time to clean out all the halls following Commencement). Check-out is noon on Sunday, June 17.

Residence hall accommodations feature bathrooms down the hall from your room (except Davis, Severance, Evans, and Memorial, which have private/semi-private baths). The showers in the bathrooms do not have grab-bars.  A linen packet, including sheets, blanket, pillow, and towels, is provided for each bed.

Residence halls are not air-conditioned (except Davis, Nourse, Watson, and the townhouses); Memorial and Cassat have ceiling fans. All beds are twin-sized. You may wish to bring the following items that are not available in the rooms: reading lamp, hangers, small fan, and alarm clock. Cribs are not available, nor are irons. Some fans are available for rent at registration in Sayles-Hill.

Accessibility: Davis, Nourse, Memorial, Cassat and Watson have elevators.

If you would like a list of hotels and campgrounds in the greater Northfield area, call the alumni relations office at 800-729-2586 or check our visitors information website. If you are staying off campus, please not on your registration form where you will be staying in case we or your classmates need to contact you.

Pet policy

Pets are not allowed in College housing. Several local boarding facilities are available with Sunday pickup options. Call the Office of Alumni Relations staff at 800-729-2586 for more details.

Class housing assignments

Assignments are based on class size, seniority, and other considerations. Housing assignments are made as reservations are received, and later registrants may not be housed near their class. These are the tentative assignments for Reunion 2012 - subject to change.
