Living at Alfred

Experience Alfred

From your very first day, you will experience what it means to live “Outside of Ordinary.” You will enjoy rich opportunities as you experience the many intersections across campus and with our alumni. At Alfred University, your four years will be enriching because of the sense of belonging we foster and the many pathways to creative discoveries. We guarantee campus housing for all four years to create an authentic community and more than 75% of our students take advantage of it. The food we serve is sourced from local farms to connect you with the hills and valleys around you; the same reason we make transportation easy.

Living at Alfred

The friendships you make and the decisions you take here will guide the rest of your life. The place you make them should be something more than a "hall."

Residence Life

Eating at Alfred

Whatever you're doing, however you're feeling, you'll find the food for it here: healthy, pre-workout snacks, a seriously satisfying breakfast, fortifying late-night eats for an all-night study session or a pastry and venti caramel macchiato between classes.

Dining

A Small Town with Big Connections

Alfred isn't a huge place, but it never feels that way. Get on the bus, pop in your ear buds and you're in Rochester. Or, hop on one of the routes to NYC. At recesses and mid-semester breaks, we'll get you to the Rochester airport with a special shuttle.
