Welcome to the College of Mount Saint Vincent. For students who are planning to live on campus, here are a few things that you should know.

Room Assignments & Roommates

We make your room assignment based on information that you provide on your roommate questionnaire. The questionnaire will be given to you during your Orientation. All students will receive their room assignment, roommate information and other information from Residence Life in a mailing that will go out in late July.

Do not worry about finding roommates. During Orientation there will be plenty of opportunities to meet other students that you may want to live with. All students will have 2 roommates.

Your Residence Hall & Room

All female students will live in Alumnae Hall and male students will live in Spellman Hall.

Useful items to bring

We provide you with beds, desks, and dressers. You may want to add rugs, houseplants, wastebaskets, posters or anything else that might be part of your “personal touch”.

Other possibilities include your radio, television, and a small refrigerator (2'x2'). Please arrange with your roommates so that the number electrical appliances are not duplicated.

Personal refrigerator and microwave units are available for rental. An order form will be giving to you During Orientation. Keep in mind that College rented microwaves are the only microwaves permitted in your room.

Don't forget pillows and blankets. All beds are extra long.
