Specialty Housing
In addition to the previously mentioned housing options and our traditional houses, we offer other specialty options to students.
Sustainable Living: Students living in Lazrus House will have the opportunity to practice sustainable living practices together. Students will have the opportunity to be near Sprout Garden and have access to a shared kitchen.
Kitchen Access: Lazrus and Abbey Houses offer upperclass students the opportunity to have a reduced meal plan, as well as the opportunity to cook for themselves.
Quiet House: Provides students with an environment that is conducive to a quiet, but not silent, lifestyle. Residents are expected to respect 24-hour quiet hours Monday through Sunday. Special non-quiet hours may be established by residents on weekends.
Substance Free Housing: Substance Free Housing accommodates students who desire a substance-free environment. Students wishing to live in Substance Free Housing agree not to smoke, consume alcohol or use illicit drugs in the house or bring any of these substances into the house.
Apartment Living: Provides students with what they have called a "more real-life" experience of living with roommates in a traditional apartment setting. Residents understand that along with the privilege of living in an apartment equipped with a full kitchen, bath, furnishings and laundry facilities comes the responsibility of maintaining their own spaces. Traditionally, residents of apartments have been junior and senior students in good judicial standing. These spaces also remain open over break periods.
Manwaring Apartments: Manwaring Apartments are the city of New London's newly restored historic building, which serves as the College's first downtown residence for students. Residents living in Manwaring have expanded opportunities for community engagement and academic programming downtown. There are multiple apartment floor plans that have been thoughtfully designed around the historic bones of the building. The units have stainless steel kitchen appliances, kitchen islands with granite counters and garbage disposals, modern bathroom designs, in-unit washers and dryers, 10+ foot ceilings, and incredible natural light with many offering views from the center of downtown New London. Manwaring Apartments can be applied for through an application process that is available to sophomores, juniors and seniors.
