Residential Life

Fisher’s eight traditional residence halls include one exclusively for first-year students, two with a mix of first-year and upperclass students, and five for upperclass students only.

We strive to enhance the development of our students by providing a supportive and safe living-learning environment within our residence halls. We, along with our residential students, share the responsibility of creating and maintaining a positive community that is conducive to student success.

Housing Selection

The housing selection process is for returning students who wish to live on campus for the 2019-20 academic year. Incoming first year and transfer students will apply for housing at a later date during a separate process.
