Residence Life and Housing
As one of numerous community colleges within the SUNY system that offers on-campus housing, Herkimer College provides students the opportunity to enhance their academic experience by being contributing members of their residential community. By living on campus, students are able to establish a sense of belonging, develop critical thinking skills, make ethical decisions, and assume self-responsibility.
The Herkimer College Housing Corporation manages housing and residence life and offers three residential communities for students (College Hill, Campus Meadows and Reservoir Run), with a total occupancy of just over 600 students.
Each residence apartment building has a live-in staff member to assist the students residing in that building/community. Resident assistants are fellow students who also live in each apartment building and are responsible for the supervision of that facility. They are trained as counselors, community builders, problem-solvers and activity planners. Area coordinators are full-time, live-in professional staff members who supervise the resident assistants and have overall management responsibility for a specific community. The entire housing and residence life function is managed by the Director of Residence Life.
Each apartment is completely furnished and includes a refrigerator, stove/oven, dishwasher and garbage disposal. Each apartment is also equipped with cable service and high speed internet.
The College maintains a list of off-campus housing options, and will assist students in securing off-campus housing. The College neither inspects nor makes any specific off-campus housing recommendations to students.
