The Residence Life Department at Mount Aloysius strives to provide a safe and community centered living environment that provides co-curricular events and programs which support and enhance students’ academic experiences. The Residence Life staff includes professional staff and Resident Assistants (RAs) who work with residents to foster a strong sense of community in each residence hall. Freshmen and sophomore students are required to live on campus unless they reside with their parents/guardians within the commuting distance (a 45-minute radius of campus). The residence halls are designed and programmed for traditional aged students. The College operates five residence halls on campus: Ihmsen Hall, St. Gertrude Hall, St. Joseph Hall, Misciagna Hall and McAuley Hall. Most rooms are double and/or triple occupancy; however, single rooms are sometimes available for an additional fee. All of the residence halls have lounge areas with color televisions, study rooms and are part of the campus’s wireless network.
