The residence life experience is an important facet of your college journey, and we are proud of the unique and supportive environment cultivated by the students of our lakeshore campus.
Each of our 13 residential communities is designed to provide you with a memorable and inclusive home-away-from-home experience. All of our residential communities, and our campus as a whole, are rich with traditions that unify us — and are cherished for a lifetime.
For all COVID-19 related matters in regards to Residence Life and Housing, please visit the Oswego Forward page.
Welcome Home
While first and second year students are required to live on campus, over 4,000 students call one of our 13 residence communities home. Each hall comes with everything you need to be comfortable, productive and close to all the action on campus— rest assured, a dining hall and fitness center will be nearby!
