The Queens residential community offers students a unique and enriching living experience! Living on campus is an immeasurable part of the college experience which builds lasting bonds and unforgettable memories. Because on-campus living is highly valued at Queens, all freshmen and sophomore students are required to reside in a residence hall. Juniors and Seniors may opt to live off campus.
All residence halls at Queens are coed to varying degrees (by floor, hall, or alternating room). Seven residence halls offer corridor style living and suite style living with the exception of North Hall which is reserved for upper classmen and offers apartment style living. Each residence hall has a Resident Assistant (RA) and housekeeping service to maintain common areas. Each residence hall has ample laundry facilities with free usage, and a furnished lobby with cable television. Each room is furnished with a mattress, desk, chair, closet, chest of drawers and micro-fridge unit and is provided with basic cable, phone line, and internet access.
