Wellness Housing

Lafayette College offers Wellness communities for first-year and upper-level students. Residence Hall staff in this area sponsor programs around six dimensions of wellness: emotional, intellectual, occupational, physical, social and spiritual. This is an opportunity for students to live with fellow residents who share a focus on creating balance in their life and promoting overall well being. Members commit to maintaining a substance-free living environment. (Please note college policies regarding tobacco, drug and alcohol use apply in all residence halls).

Traditional upper-level wellness housing is located in Keefe Hall and Ramer Hall.

Self-Directed Wellness housing is located in off-campus apartments and is available for juniors and seniors who have previously lived in a traditional wellness community and wish to increase their independence and autonomy.
