If you were to ask five current students, "Where is the best place to live on campus?" you'd likely get five different answers. That diversity of personal preference is one reason why Ithaca College offers several types of living space in our residence halls. These include traditional single, double, and triple rooms, suites, and several styles of apartments in our two apartment areas: the Circles and Gardens.

Each traditional residence hall at Ithaca College has lounges which are popular for studying, socializing, watching television, attending educational programs, and holding meetings. Additionally, each traditional residence hall has at least one kitchenette that is equipped with a refrigerator, sink, range, and microwave oven. Generally, one lounge in every traditional residence hall is designated as a quiet area for study.

Apartments at Ithaca College are designed for independent living. Each apartment is equipped with a kitchen that includes a range, sink, refrigerator, and a microwave oven. Circle Apartments are designed to accommodate from 2 to 6 students. 2-person Garden Apartments offer students studio-style living with 4- and 6-person Garden Apartments providing a traditional-style apartment atmosphere.

You can attempt to select the type of room and hall that best suits your needs, but we cannot always guarantee your ability to find that option available (see Housing Selection for more information).
