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.

There Are Too Many Freshmen!

Although the housing accommodations are in reality very nice at Alfred, there are too many incoming students and this is causing a lack of rewards for deserving upperclassmen.

Campus Life

Living on campus is convenient, you're right on campus so you're close to campus and dining halls. All doubles or 4 person suites or apartments which is nice.

On Campus Housing

The freshman dorms are a good location, pretty central on campus. the sophomores unites are nice because you live with 6 people, however the suites are in the very most upper left part of campus, it;s up a really steep hill and quite the hike. The ford street apartments for juniors and seniors are nicer than the suites, and in a better location with a full kitchen. i wish the rooms and closets were bigger though in the apartments, and that the fire alarms weren't so sensitive. We have at least 3 instances each month due to smoky bacon or something of the sort.

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 its past." There are many accounts of paranormal encounters in its halls.
  • In 2004, all residence halls and immediate areas were made smoke-free.
