Undergraduate Student Housing Options

Wheelock's four residence halls - Longwood House, Peabody Hall, Pilgrim House, and Riverway House - provide unique living environments due to differences in their size, types of rooms, designations as co-educational or single-sex halls, and their traditions. Each living environment is headed by professional Resident Directors and Resident Assistants who represent the general philosophies and policies of the Student Development Office. The unique characteristics of the halls are ensured through residence self-government, which allows house members to determine rules and regulations for their own community.

Rooms are either singles, doubles, or triples (single rooms are reserved for upper-class students) and each room in the residence halls is equipped with the following: twin bed, desk with a chair, dresser, blinds on the windows, overhead light, smoke detectors, closet space (limited), hook ups for telephone, voicemail, and cable TV, and computer network access.
