Residence Halls

You are welcome to choose from any of the residence halls that you are eligible for based on your class year. This does not mean that you are guaranteed to be placed there. We try our best to place people where they choose but certain areas fill up quickly.

In all residence halls there are restrooms; showers, with private shower stalls; fully equipped kitchens with a community fridge and stove/oven combo; and free laundry facilities.

At Lewis & Clark College, gender-inclusive housing is available for all residential students. Campus Living welcomes students of all gender identities and strives to place students in the best housing arrangement based on their indicated needs and preferences.

All residence halls on campus are gender-inclusive with gender inclusive bathrooms with the exception of one single gender floor for men in Copeland, 2 single gender floors for women in Copeland, and one single gender floor for women in Spruce.

In order to ensure our housing processes are equitable and inclusive for all residents, Campus Living will not automatically assign roommates based on sex assigned at birth. Students who apply to live on-campus will indicate their own gender identity and all gender identities⁺ they feel comfortable living with through our housing portal. Once housing applications are completed, Campus Living staff will work to ensure that students are paired with a suitable roommate.

As meal plans are required for all residential students, there is no easy way to just cancel a meal plan. If you would like to explore the option of formally applying for an exemption for health reasons, please see the meal plan exemption request on our website. Otherwise, meal plans are required for all students living on campus, so if you would like a reduced plan, you can change your meal plan for the next semester through our housing portal.
