Residential Life
Create your Residential Experience
Check out Albright residence halls to get to know what on-campus Lion life is like.
The Office of Residential Life is located in the McMillan Student Center, on the ground floor near the campus mailroom and student cafes. You can find us down the hallway, just past the pool tables and mailboxes. If you have questions or a request, contact reslife@albright.edu.
Stay informed about important housing dates to know when halls open and close. All break periods are open to exceptions for late stay and extended stay for students that apply and qualify.
No matter your campus living preferences, we’re dedicated to helping you feel at home at Albright!
Residential Life Staff
Real support for real life
If you ever have a question or concern, Albright residence life staff are ready to help. Our resident assistants (RAs) are trained in safety, campus resources, program development, and campus policies, and our coordinators are a support network for both the residents of their spaces and for RA staff. Our team participates in a 24/7, on-call rotation to ensure someone is available to assist with after-hours emergencies and resource connections.
RA's program throughout the year, with most buildings hosting a program at least once a week. The kinds of programs vary, with some being active events and others being more passive but the goal is to create welcoming and inclusive communities within buildings.
Outside of the residential buildings, Albright's many clubs and organizations also program throughout the year.
Residential Resources:
We prefer to speak with students directly about any residence hall issues they may experience. Please contact our team at reslife@albright.edu to arrange a conversation.
