Housing

Class of 2030 First-Time-in-College Campus Housing

If you're an incoming first-time-in-college student it all begins with the 2026-2027 Housing Application accessed through myTribeGuide. First-time-in-college housing is NOT assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Transfer Campus Housing

ALL transfer students are welcome to live on campus, as space allows.

If the demand for on campus housing exceeds the available inventory, transfer student housing applicants who are not required to live on campus may be placed on the Housing Waitlist and will not be guaranteed on campus housing.

We recommend that transfer students apply as soon as possible for on-campus housing by completing the Housing Application accessed through myTribeGuide.

Learn more about your potential housing options by visiting our Upper-level Halls online!

We encourage you to live on campus. It's one of the best ways to connect with the W&M community.

Community Engagement

Residence Life's learning strategies include a range of educational activities, events, and touchpoints with students that provide opportunities for learning and community development. These strategies work together on an ongoing basis to ultimately lead students to determine what it means to be in a community with others and their responsibility in its development and evolution as empowered leaders.

With the spirit and history of self-determination, our on-campus communities engage with the learning strategies listed above to exercise and develop a unique sense of self and have clarity of beliefs, identity and social relationships within the context of community.

Housing Accommodations

If you require any housing-related accommodations due to a diagnosed disability, you must register with Student Accessibility Services (SAS). Once SAS has received your completed registration and documentation information, students will be able to schedule a welcome meeting. They will process requests submitted after the deadline as soon as possible, but approvals may be delayed due to housing availability and other factors. SAS will notify Residence Life if your accommodation is approved.

Two Year Live on Requirement

First-time-in-college students enrolled full-time are required to live in on-campus housing during their first two (2) years following their high school graduation. The program will explore additional academic, social, and cultural living and learning communities for W&M students in the third and fourth semesters at W&M Learn more about this requirement now.
