Wood Frame Houses
Wesleyan University offers over 150 house units on campus for upper-class students which range in size from one to six person units. All houses include a kitchen and single bedrooms. Please note that wood frame houses include a bed, dresser, desk, bookcase and chair for each bedroom. For information on the bed types in a particular house, please use the links provided below. Common area furniture includes: couch, chair, coffee table and end table. The kitchen includes a table and four chairs. Each student room contains high speed internet access port.
It is critical for all students to realize that living in a wood-frame house is a privilege that comes with significant responsibility. Students living in these houses become part of a Middletown neighborhood, and must be sensitive to all of the student and non-student residents living in these neighborhoods.
This sensitivity and responsibility also applies to social activities. If students in a wood frame elect to host a party, they should abide by the wood frame party policy. The Office of Residential Life strongly encourages students to register their parties through Room Request on their WesPortal. Please read the complete wood frame party policy linked below. Any wood frame house may register a party with the exception of Quiet Houses.
All Wesleyan-owned student houses on High Street, Home Avenue, Lawn Avenue, Knowles Avenue and Brainerd Avenue will be designated as quiet houses. The “quiet house zone” was created in response to concerns expressed by non-student neighbors living in the area and after consultation with the Undergraduate Residential Life Committee (URLC).
Students who choose designated quiet houses during the room selection process agree not to host parties or social events unless they are small and the noise from such events can easily be contained within the house. Further, students agree to not participate in activities that might negatively impact their neighbors, and understand that they will be held responsible for disruptive noise or activities caused by them or their guests. (Quiet Houses are designated with an "*" in the list below.)
Please note that not all housing listed on the Residential Life website will be available in the Housing Selection webpages. The "Browse Housing" function of the selection site is the most up to date reflection of our housing stock available for selection.
