Graduate Housing
Springfield College encourages graduate students to live in College-owned housing and consider themselves “at home” in our vibrant campus community. We offer many options for graduate students, both on and off-campus. On campus, there are apartments in the Graduate Living Center and Graduate Annex. Off-campus, there are two apartment buildings adjoining the campus as well as various apartments and individual homes in the surrounding neighborhood. Eight houses clustered together just off campus comprise the Graduate Village.
Most students share living space with one or more roommates, each with their own bedroom. Accommodations may also be made for married students. On-campus residence units blend the independence of apartment-style living with regard for economy— heat, electricity, hot water, local phone service, and maintenance are all included in the occupancy fee.
