HOUSING FAQs

Click here to register for housing

Will I receive a housing confirmation email?

Housing confirmation will be sent by the Boston College Residential Life office. Please note that when your payment goes through, your registration is incomplete unless you click “To continue with your registration click here." If you close the window after paying, you will be charged, but you will not receive a confirmation email.

If you register for housing by mail, you will receive a confirmation email at the email address specified on the Reunion registration form.

When do I find out which dorm I will be staying in?

Housing registration closes on May 22, which gives the Office of Residential Life a week to place registrants in dorms. You will receive notification of housing location the week of Reunion. Please note that only your dorm will be given; your actual suite will be assigned when you check in on campus.

How does group registration work?

Groups may be formed to place individuals in the same suites. Please choose a group leader to begin the process. Up to eight people (four for the fifth anniversary class) may use the same group registration number. After that, it is not guaranteed that you will be placed together or near one another.

Group leader: must register first. A registration number will appear on the final screen of your registration.  Please give this number to your friends.  This registration number will also appear in your confirmation email, which you may forward to your friends.

Group members: Please include your group leader’s registration number in the group registration number field.  Please note that your registration confirmation will reflect only your individual registration number, not the group number that you have entered.

Direct roommate requests: If you wish to be in the same room with someone who is registering separately, please include their registration number in the direct roommate field.

Can I reserve an entire suite or room for myself?

Due to limited space, you cannot reserve an entire suite for yourself.  You must reserve a full suite.  If you do not fill an entire suite, it will be filled with alumni of the same gender.  It is likely that the suite will be filled with members from your class, but it is not guaranteed. 

Can I block rooms?

We cannot accommodate room blocking.  All classes will be in rooms of eight with the exception of the fifth anniversary class which will be housed in Edmonds, which offers only suites of four.

Can I choose my dorm room? Request a specific room?

Requests for specific rooms can be made but are not guaranteed. Classes are placed in a dorm with their other classmates, and rooms are filled by floor.

Are there handicap rooms available?

If you need a handicap room, please put that on your registration so we can make all necessary accommodations. Handicap shower chairs, etc. are not available outside of handicap rooms.

What is in the suite?

Linens are available for each bed, but we do recommend bringing an extra blanket as New England weather is unpredictable.  Towels are also provided for guests.  There is a refrigerator in each suite but no microwave.

What should I bring to my suite?

An extra blanket and toiletries are recommended. 

Is there Internet access in the residence halls?

The suites provide wireless access.

Are spouses allowed to share a room, or is each suite gender specific?

Yes, spouses can share the same room, but all beds are twin beds.

Can children stay in the dorms?

We regret that we are unable to accommodate families in housing.  All guests must be 18+ to stay in housing for the weekend.

Can we bring alcohol into the dorms?

Kegs are not allowed in the dorms, but all other alcohol may be brought in.
