Clark University

On-Campus Accommodation

The University's eight traditional resident halls and ten houses, including three graduate student houses, are home to about 1,665 graduate and undergraduate students.

To establish a residential community that is inclusive, egalitarian, and secure for students, the Office of Residential Life & Housing works with Clarkies and other campus partners.

Students at Clark have access to a range of housing choices. First-year students can get to know one another in three coed housing halls. One of our two mixed-class halls is exclusively for women. Juniors and seniors are the main populations of three different coed residence halls. Additionally, ten coed residences are available, three of which are designated for graduate students. 

First-year Halls

Students in their first year can get to know one another better because all housing is a traditional lifestyle. There are communal restrooms on every floor, a full kitchen, several social lounges, quiet study spaces, multimedia study rooms, and laundry facilities in every building. 

• Bullock Hall

At Clark University, Bullock Hall is one of the residence halls reserved only for first-year students. Bullock Hall has many wonderful qualities, but the activities and sense of community that are only available to first-year students are just the beginning. The Higgins University Center, Kneller Athletic Center, Goddard Library, Carlson Hall, University Police Station, Parking Garage, and Dana, Hughes, and Maywood Street Residence Halls are all within a minute's walk of Bullock Hall, which is situated in the exact centre of campus directly across the street from Jonas Clark Hall.

RLH Houses

The university has eight residences available for undergrads. Some are designed like little residence halls, while others let residents live in apartments.

Eight homes are available for undergraduate residence at the university, and two houses are available for graduate residence. Some are designed like little residence halls, while others let residents live in apartments. There are three zones for Clark residences, each of which is run by a RA.

Each co-educational house is set up according to the preferences of the residents during the housing lottery. Except for 1 and 3 Maywood Place, 914, and 926 Main Street, which only have single rooms, all of the residences have both single and double rooms. There are fully equipped kitchens and communal living rooms in every home. Students residing in all homes have access to washers and dryers. Each room has an extra-long twin bed and mattress, a desk, a chair, a bookcase, built-in closets and/or a standing wardrobe, as well as window coverings or curtains for each occupant. Cable and high-speed internet access are also available (wired and wireless). Please take note that we are unable to provide precise or even approximate room dimensions due to the almost infinite variety of room sizes and shapes in the houses.
