Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Your residential experience at Alfred will vary greatly according to where you live. It’s mandatory for students to remain on campus until their junior year. Openhym is the largest and the most social. It tends to house the most art students. The rooms have dividers to add an extra hint of privacy. The rest of the freshman dorms (Tefft, Baressi, Cannon, and Reimer) are smaller with larger doubles. These are cozier. Although most students are pleased to leave the freshman dorms behind, many miss the sense of community they provided.

Students who stay on campus as upperclassmen have the option of the Brick, Pine Hill Suites, Kruson, Bartlett Hall, or the Ford Street Apartments. The majority settle in Bartlett Hall, the Suites, or the Kruson. Special-interest houses are very selective and only house five to six students. The suites have kitchens, but the doubles are too small. With its spacious rooms and quaint wood floors, the Brick is the most popular. The building is ancient and has a ton of character. It may also be haunted. The Ford Street apartments experience less paranormal activity. These are strictly for juniors and seniors and resemble the suites. The kitchens are huge. The only way to get in is to get a posse together and lobby like hell about a year in advance.

Dorms

The dorms are adequate. There are kitchens, good facilities, hangout rooms in dorms. THe cost is a little high, and RAs are a little invasive. However, the housing sign up process is convenient and residence life is helpful. I would recommend it.

THE DORMS

I really hate the dorm at Alfred university. They have RA'S that want to treat you like children, and dirty people who can't clean u after themselves on the weekends the restrooms are horrible. On the weekends there is nothing to do but the the same things over and over again. Since so many people are local they go home dont he weekends making the school feel lonely.

AU Housing Options

The pine hill suites are nice and comfortable, but you have to walk up a big hill. The upper class apartments are bigger and more conveniently located. Isolated living at on campus houses is also an option. Many students move off campus after two years.

Did You Know?


Built in 1858, the Brick is listed in the National and State Historical Register. It has been used as a boarding house, gymnasium, and even an infirmary after WWI. All this history has left the Brick literally “haunted by it’s past.” There are many accounts of paranormal encounters in its halls.

In 2004, all residence halls and immediate areas were made smoke-free.
