Residence Halls

The Lesley University residential community is a welcoming one which values the residential experience and encourages students to take the opportunity to live in University housing. Educating students both inside and outside the classroom is a vital part of the total academic experience. Residential life gives students support and complements their academic life by encouraging the sharing of common interests and ideas with other residents. Many programs and activities are sponsored in the halls by the Community Advisors and the students. Currently there are approximately 650 students that live within the residence halls.

Students have the option to live in either traditional style Residence Halls, Victorian Houses or housing at the Episcopal Divinity School campus. All rooms are furnished with a bed, mattress, desk, chair, ceiling light, dresser, window shades, and wardrobe closet spaces. All residence halls are smoke free. Internet access is available for each resident.
