When our students come together on Sewanee's campus, they not only work and collaborate, but also live in community with one another. In between classes, students come together to study at DuPont Library or to grab a snack at Stirling's Coffee House. After morning classes are finished, students grab lunch together across the lawn at McClurg Dining Hall before returning for afternoon workshops. Many of our single students then return to their residence halls, while families and spouses live close by in on-campus University houses or at nearby private rentals.
The townhouse-style residence halls are located on central campus. There are four connected townhouses, with multiple floors, a common kitchen and living space, and shared bathrooms on each floor. Each room is assigned as a single. Pets are not permitted.
University houses are located on central campus and reserved for students with families and spouses. While each house is unique in design and layout, all houses will have a common kitchen and living space. Descriptions of individual houses will be provided upon assignment. Pets are not permitted.
Students who do not wish to live in University housing may arrange for their own housing or commute to campus.
Our sustainable marketplace-style dining hall is conveniently located across the lawn from Gailor Hall, where classes convene each day. Sewanee also offers many on-campus dining options, with local fare a short walk or drive away. There is no mandatory meal plan, so students can opt in as little or as often as they would like.
Swimming, tennis, golf, running...we do it all, and more. Take advantage of our newly renovated golf course, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, and the Fowler Sport and Fitness Center with its exercise rooms, indoor track, and indoor pool.
Explore what our 13,000-acre campus has to offer. Through the Sewanee Outing Program, students can utilize every aspect of the Domain through guided trips and access to the gear shop. Or, you can just take a hike.
