The Office of Residential Life and Education at Saint Anselm College supports a residential life experience that integrates a Benedictine approach to the educational journey.

We strive to provide an environment that enhances our students' academic success and reflects the values of integrity, mutual respect and responsibility. We are committed to promoting a living/learning experience in the halls through positive staff interactions, educational opportunities, and developmental programming.

Saint Anselm residential housing accommodates more than 1,775 students in various living arrangements, from traditional residence halls to suites, townhouses, and apartments. More than 97 percent of students choose to live on campus and enjoy a balance of academic study, rest, relaxation, and social life.

Housing is guaranteed for all four years to students who enter in residence as freshmen and remain in residence. Each residence hall has a staff of student resident assistants (RAs), and a Resident Director (RD), or Area Coordinator (AC), who assists students with college adjustment, campus resources and information, and provides opportunities for social, educational, and personal growth.

If you have any questions about living on campus at Saint Anselm College, call or e-mail the Office of Residential Life and Education at (603) 222-4006. Additional information is available in the Student Handbook.

Residence Hall Options

There are a variety of options available for on-campus living for current students, including traditional halls and apartment-style living. Students are able to choose their living arrangements from year to year by participating in the housing lottery. Our residential students can find a housing option that best fits their lifestyle and preferences while in a great setting and atmosphere!

There are 15 traditional residence halls on the campus as well as three areas for apartment-style living. The residence halls on-campus each have a Resident Assistant assigned to a particular building, wing or area.

  • First-Year Residence Halls

    First-year students reside in traditional residence halls on the campus.

    About Your Room

    Your very first room at college is both an exciting experience but it can also be nerve-racking. The Office of Residential Life and Education aims to help you with your transition and settling into your new room. Our helpful and friendly team of professional staff members and Resident Assistants are on hand to help make your on-campus experience dynamic, safe, and fun!

    The Basics

    Most of the rooms in Dominic Hall, Joan of Arc Hall, Alumni Hall, Baroody Hall, and Saint Mary Hall are a standard size of 11' x 14'. Each room comes furnished with beds, built-in storage closets, desks, chairs and a shared dresser (excluding Joan of Arc Hall). All mattresses are extra-long twin in size. Each room also has a data port for high-speed internet access for each resident. Rooms in Joan of Arc Hall also feature a sink and medicine cabinet in each room.

    Transforming Your Room into Your Room

    Most students will arrive on campus with too much, not too little. Your room already is outfitted with some amenities and furnishings. One of the best best things that you can do prior to arriving on campus check-in is to call your future roommate(s) and discuss the room. Discuss the types of items you wish to bring to campus ahead of time. This can be very helpful in saving you both time and space if you coordinate who will be bringing certain appliances, electronics, and furnishings. Talking about your room before you move in with your roommate(s) will help you to visualize your new room as a space where you and your roommate(s) can be comfortable and happy.

    Not sure what to bring with you to college? Check out our list of items to bring to college and what items to leave behind.
