Bennington doesn’t do dorms. Students live in houses of 30–45 people with unique New England charm and modern design. These aren’t just places to sleep; they’re vibrant communities where friendships grow.

Housing highlights:

• Coed houses with kitchens, cozy common rooms, fireplaces, and laundry facilities
• Bathrooms shared every 4–5 rooms, many with bathtubs or showers
• Porches and patios with mountain views, pianos, and extra living spaces
• Frequently ranked among Princeton Review’s “Dorms Like Palaces”’
• Housing options for students to form small intentional wellness communities

What it means for students:

Living in a house-style community makes campus feel like home, with plenty of spaces to relax, study, and connect.
