Minerva Houses

Every student, faculty member, and most staff members belong to one of the seven Minerva Houses, which provide a center for members' academic and social activities. These houses provide common areas on the ground floor for events, and upper levels contain residence halls offering distinctive housing for over 240 upper-class students. Students are encouraged to use the spaces in the Minervas, regardless of house assignment, that they feel most welcome in.

Minerva House rooms are typically larger than those found in other residence halls and offer special features such as hardwood floors.

The Office of Residential Education & Housing manages the Minerva housing selection for rising sophomores, juniors and seniors. Students can only apply to live in their Minerva, although there is a process for friends belonging to different Houses to live together. Minerva housing lotteries are completed prior to the overall campus housing lottery.
