Residential Colleges seek mentors
Here at Fairfield, one of the major ways we support our students in their own growth and development is through mentoring. Mentors are there to be present, create a safe and trusting space, facilitate "real" discussions and reflections among students, and offer their own perspectives and struggles about living an authentic life.

Residence Life updates
Residence hall closings: All halls close on Friday, May 13 at 6 p.m. for non-graduating students. Graduating seniors must move out by noon on Monday, May 23. There are no exceptions to the schedule, so please plan accordingly.
Important reminder about leases: Students should not sign off-campus leases until released off campus. For their own protection, students are advised not to sign a lease until after they have confirmed release from Fairfield University’s four-year housing requirement. If a student signs a lease and is not released by Fairfield University to live off campus, Fairfield University has no obligation to honor the lease the student signed, or to otherwise accommodate any contractual residential relationships they enter into. In other words, students who sign leases prior to being released do so at their own risk.
Commencement housing: The Office of Residence Life will provide housing for parents of graduating seniors. Please contact the office for details at (203) 254-4215 or e-mail residencelife@fairfield.edu.
Summer housing: The Office of Residence Life provides summer housing for students taking a class or internship. Please contact the office for details at (203) 254-4215 or e-mail residencelife@fairfield.edu.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Student Spotlight:
Maria Clinton '13
Hometown: Peekskill, New York
Major: Double major in Communications and Television
I chose Fairfield because...
it is far enough away that I don’t feel like I never left home and close enough that when I miss the comforts of my cozy house and family I’m just a train ride away. The beautiful campus grounds also enchanted me while the welcoming small-sized classes made me feel very comfortable.
