On-Campus Housing
Registration for on-campus housing will open in early April. For alumni interested in staying on campus, please understand that Swarthmore is committed to providing summer housing to students pursuing on-campus or local summer opportunities — or who simply have nowhere else to go. With this in mind, on-campus housing is limited and assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. We encourage you to explore off-campus options, including local hotels, inns, and short-term rentals. If you're interested in staying on campus during Alumni Weekend, please plan to register early. Registration will open in early April.
As a reminder, on-campus housing is limited to basic dorm rooms, which have only the bare essentials: two sheets, one pillow and pillowcase, one blanket, two towels, and soap. Bathrooms are communal and rooms with private baths are not available. Most residence halls do not have air conditioning.
