Residence Life & Housing

Living at Holy Cross is a once-in-a-lifetime experience — just ask any of our current Â鶹´«Ã½. (Many of them would tell you they never want to leave.) 

As a residential college in which 87 percent of Â鶹´«Ã½ live on campus, Holy Cross promotes a multidimensional learning experience that transcends classroom studies. All first-year Â鶹´«Ã½ live on campus and participate in our unique Montserrat living/learning program. Each of our 11 coed residence halls features comfortable, fully networked spaces for living, learning, and socializing.

Student resident assistants develop a culture of belonging through various activities that bring the residence hall together, such as field trips to Boston and outdoor barbecues. In turn, our Â鶹´«Ã½ take advantage of opportunities to explore their interests and share their talents through student groups and organizations. The result is an intimate campus and a student body that feels like a second family.
