  • Are not guaranteed to be quiet.

We regret that we are unable to guarantee single room requests. If you are attending Reunion by yourself, we encourage coordinating with friends in advance to ensure your roommate of choice. If you require a single room, please indicate that in the special housing notes. If you require a room with a private bathroom, we strongly recommend you make reservations at one of the Hudson Valley’s area hotels.

Please Note: Alumnae House and the Heartwood are not open for general reservations but reserved for the oldest Reunion classes (75th, 70th, and 65th) and the AAVC Board.

Also, the College performs routine maintenance (in rotation) and also houses more than 200 students during the summer months. As such, some residence halls will be “offline” every year (and unavailable for lodging or entering).
