Information & Updates

Housing

We are excited to welcome alums back to Vassar for an in-person reunion and want to ensure that everyone makes informed decisions about where to stay.

We recommend you register early for on-campus housing as it is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Family housing (for families with young children of four or more) will be in the Terrace Apartments (TAs) and will be $400 per family.

The cost to stay on campus in a dorm will be $175.00 per person, per bed for any part of the weekend.

If you are part of the 5th year Reunion class, the cost is $125.00 per person, per bed for any part of the weekend. In order to maximize the housing for the 5th year Reunion class, it is recommended you choose a person to share a room with, either a guest that is attending Reunion with you or another classmate.
