From Victorian-era mansions to contemporary housing and our 194 St. Paul Street building, we have multiple housing options for students to choose from.
As a first-year student, you may choose to live in one of our Victorian-era residence halls. Upper-year students (sophomores, juniors, seniors), may live in one of our Victorian-era mansions, contemporary residence halls, or at 194 St. Paul, a deluxe apartment-style housing option a few blocks from central campus.
First-year students live in one of the beautifully restored Victorian-era mansions that surround central campus. These residence halls maintain the charm of historic woodwork, bay windows, and fun quirks. Every room is different, giving your new home an authentic, unique feel.
Upper-year students have the option to live in one of our beautifully restored Victorian-era mansions, contemporary residence halls, or at our 194 St. Paul Street apartment building. Think: mountain and lake views, suites with friends, and a space to make your own.
Designed and constructed as an independent student apartment building, 194 Saint Paul Street offers a modern, vibrant, and social living experience steps away from Champlain’s main campus, downtown, and the Lake Champlain waterfront and bike path.
Are you a current student wondering how to apply for housing for the following academic year? We have a timeline of important dates to keep in mind and a step-by-step housing selection guide outlined for you.
Returning Student Housing SelectionIn our gender-inclusive housing community, students apply to voluntarily live in the same space regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or other identities.
Residence halls close for most of the big school breaks, but break housing is available to those who have a qualified need to stay on campus. When applying for housing, select a break hall.
Champlain offers summer housing to current students who are working on- or off-campus or have internships. Find out more about how to qualify.
We have a living community specifically for transfer students! We know transferring to a new college can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, and we want to give you the opportunity to be in community with people who have a shared experience. Transfer students complete the incoming student housing preference form and are automatically placed in transfer housing.
The college roommate experience can be wonderful, but (sometimes) challenging. This is why it’s important to communicate openly with roommates about expectations for living together. To help with this process, Resident Advisors meet with roommates during the first three to five weeks of the school year to help them engage in conversations about how they can live together successfully.
During these conversations, students will fill out and submit a Roommate Agreement Form. The form helps document the expectations that students set with each other and allows the Housing & Residential Life staff to assist residents with any questions, concerns, or challenges that arise involving their living experiences.
Communication is important to a successful living experience and can help you create a long-lasting relationship with your roommate. Please contact Housing & Residential Life should you have any questions.
It is important to review the room condition report when you first arrive to your residence hall room to make sure that any pre-existing damage is noted so you will not be charged upon your departure.
Certain types of decorations pose fire hazards while others are a safety concern. Our guidelines allow you to decorate your room while minimizing the potential for damage to facilities and furnishings, and minimizing risk to the safety of residents. Residents can attach decorations to walls and surfaces which aren’t specifically prohibited using mounting putty, tape, command strips, or other adhesives as long as it does not damage any painted or finished surface when removed.
You may NOT:
When damage occurs within a dorm room or suite, the student responsible should complete a report on School Dude to have it repaired. Students are responsible to pay for damage that occurs to their assigned bedroom or College furnishing. Students will be charged for damages to College furnishings and buildings beyond what is considered normal wear and tear. When the responsible party cannot be identified, any assessment of damages to common areas, such as halls, bathrooms, and living rooms will be apportioned among all apartment, floor, or building residents. Students may be held responsible for the actions of their guests; to the extent that such actions implicate students’ responsibilities under the Code of Conduct.
Be sure to review Champlain’s housing policies. If you have specific questions regarding your housing agreement, please contact the Office of Housing and Residential Life to get a copy of the housing agreement for Main Campus and 194 St. Paul Street.
Take a sustainable, mindful approach to move out and give your belongings a second home if you no longer have use for them. Our Office of Sustainability runs a great Move-Out Collection Project.
