College to expand gender-neutral housing options in fall

|

As Dartmouth students gear up for room draw, they will have additional options for gender-neutral housing, as Mid-Massachusetts Hall, the Lodge residence hall and the second, third and fourth floors of New Hampshire Hall will be added to the list of locations where students of any gender can cohabitate, according to Director of Housing Rachael Class-Giguere. These residence halls will join the Maxwell Channing Cox and Ledyard Apartments, designated suites in the East Wheelock cluster and the gender-neutral affinity program in Fahey-McLane Hall as gender-neutral locations, but they will be regarded as separate from the affinity application process required for the program, Class-Giguere said.
