Living on Campus

Living on Campus

Alverno College recommends that all Weekday College students entering the college within one year of high school graduation, 17-20 years old, to live on campus for the first two semesters. Alverno offers suites (single with a bathroom), large singles, small singles and doubles in Austin Hall and suites and large singles in Clare Hall. Austin Hall is the heart of the residence life program offering many activities and is where the Community Service in Leadership wing as well as the Wellness wing are located. Clare Hall is a more mature environment designed for upper level students.

Move-In Day Information

Move-in day is Saturday, August 24, 2013 from 10am-4pm for all residential students.  Carts are available on a limited basis to assist with your move-in process.  For a smoother process, students must have completed and turned in all Business Office paperwork including your Loan Agreement and agreement on payments. In addition, please bring with you the emergency card and immunization form that you receive in your summer mailing.  Additional copies will be available. If you need to research your immunization record, and you are from Wisconsin, please go to http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/immunization/wir.htm.  Students are required to submit completed forms prior to receiving room keys.

Personalizing Your Room: What to Bring and What Not to Bring

You are asked to bring the basics: bed linens for a standard twin bed, blankets, pillows, towels, hangers, cleaning supplies, a lamp for study, alarm clock, health essentials and cooking essentials.  In addition, you may wish to personalize your room with plants, posters, and pictures from home (removable strip hooks or poster tack work well).  Some students will also bring carpet pieces, we suggest carpets no larger than 9'x12'.  Closet entry is an open space (46 1/2" width x 76" length) with a 1 1/4" diameter rod hanger.  You may want to bring a curtain with hooks to personalize your space.

Please do not bring microwaves, hotplates, fryers, toasters, toaster ovens, space heaters, air conditioners, halogen lights, candles, incense, firearms, or pets (except for fish).  For a complete list: What to Bring to the Residence Halls.

Summer Housing

Summer housing is available to Alverno students who are taking summer classes.  You have the option of having your own room or a roommate, depending upon availability.  Students who do not attend classes, but work on campus during the summer, have the option to stay on campus.
