First-Year Undergraduate Housing

Living on campus is a core part of the learning and growth experience for undergraduates. All incoming students are assigned a roommate and residence hall based on Residential Life’s Housing Survey that you are required to fill out as part of the matriculation process.  

Meeting and living with people who have traveled a different life journey to arrive at Tufts and who share different perspectives is key to the Tufts residential life experience.  

Each residential community is staffed with Resident Assistants who are undergraduate or graduate students and full-time professional staff who are focused on providing residential education and facilitating social connection. 

Please note that during the 2027-2028 academic year all undergraduate students, including first-year students taking courses at the SMFA campus, will live on the Medford/Somerville campus.
