Upper-Class Housing

Farwell Gender Inclusive Cluster

The second-floor center cluster of Farwell is designated as a Gender Inclusive Housing cluster. This is a voluntary living environment that allows for students to live with each other regardless of how they identify with respect to gender. The cluster is designed for students who identify and/or support the LGBTQIA+ community, are exploring gender identity/expression, or choose not to be classified based on gender. The cluster is made up of three single rooms and five double rooms.

Baker Village  

Baker Village is designed to give groups of four or six students the opportunity to live together as a peer group in townhouse-style units with either four or six single rooms. Groups may be single sex or co-ed.

Larsen Hall

Ground floor Larsen Hall is a gender-inclusive living environment. Students may apply with their roommate of choice regardless of sex or gender. The room draw process for the gender inclusive floor in Larsen Hall takes place during the standard double room draw process.

Farwell Co-Ed Cluster

Co-ed cluster groups include 10 students in five double rooms. The cluster will have two rooms of one sex and three of the opposite sex. An RA will occupy one single room. The other three single rooms in the cluster will be selected during single room draw, which will be held immediately after cluster and suite draw. Half of the single rooms in the cluster will be male students and half female students.

If I’m transgender, are these my only options?

No, there are several options that can serve an individual's needs. We encourage and welcome those who identify as transgender (see glossary of terms) to work privately with Residence Life in order to find the most reasonable and comfortable housing, regardless of the identifying gender of prospective roommates.
