L IVING ON C AMPUS RESIDENCE LIFE, STUDENT AFFAIRS, EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE CENTER 1100 (ERC) PHONE: 315-268-6642 RESLIFE @CLARKSON .EDU LASTING friendships begin in our residence and dining halls for as many reasons as there are students. We strive to help you make your residence days and nights as rewarding as your classroom experiences and believe there is as much to be learned outside the classroom as there is in the classroom. As a first-year student, you’ll live in one of our fully networked residence halls. All the rooms are fully furnished, and most are double occupancy. Clarkson houses most first-year students in the “Quad” which consists of Cubley, Reynolds, Ross and Brooks. This enhances the First Year Experience and promotes cohesiveness of the class. Currently, there are five options for theme housing that include Unity House, FIRST Robotics, Outdoor Enthusiast, Professional Women, and Women in Science and Engineering (WiSE). The goal of theme housing is to bring students together because of common interests and to cultivate lasting friendships. Living on a theme floor is advantageous because residents of these floors interact with faculty outside of the classroom, and get to enjoy social activities such as trips, volunteer activities, and movies.
