Pine Lake is a place where challenge, reflection, and recreation can lead to personal renewal, growth, appreciation of nature, and responsible environmental stewardship. If you like the outdoors and living in a natural setting, Pine Lake is for you!

• Students living at Pine Lake may not be under College disciplinary sanction and should be in good academic standing (GPA greater than 2.25).
• Portions of the Lodge will be reserved for a first-year living learning community. All First-Year Students must live in Robertson Lodge.

Physical and Life Sciences – 2nd floor vanEss Hall
Are you a nursing major or a science major? Will you be spending a lot of time in Johnstone Science Center in classes and labs? Want to live with like-minded, academic-focused students? Are you a student who has an interest in science, technology, engineering, math, and physical and health sciences? If you answered yes, then this Theme Community is for you. Be around students who value the sciences, just like you.

P.R.I.D.E. – People Respecting Identity, Diversity and Equality – 4th floor Oyaron House
Hartwick is supportive of LGBTQ & Ally students. This Theme Community intentionally allows for students who are LGBTQ-friendly to live together in a positive, supportive community.

The goal of this community is for all members to undertake Safe Space training.

Wellness Living: Mind, Body, and Soul – 2nd and 3rd floors of Oyaron House

Residents will commit to living substance-free.

Residents will commit to living substance-free. This means residents will not consume tobacco, alcohol, and/or drugs. Students found in violation of this commitment may be moved out of the Theme Community.

Fame: All About the Arts – 1st and 2nd floors of Wilder Hall
Hartwick has a variety of ways that students are involved with the arts, whether or not they’re majors. If you enjoy creating art in any medium or if have a passion for all the performing arts, then this is the place you want to live. Plus the floor is close to Anderson Center for the Arts!

Honors Housing – 3rd and 4th floors of Wilder Hall
Honors Housing provides students with a special experience by fusing residence hall living with honors learning, plus it provides a stimulating intellectual and social atmosphere for you to enjoy.

Guiding Eyes for the Blind Program in Residence Halls

Hartwick College proudly partners with the Leatherstocking Region of Guiding Eyes for the Blind puppy raising program. This partnership provides that up to 10 puppies may be raised in the residence halls at a time.

Due to the impact that a dog may have on a student with allergies and/or fear of dogs, these puppies, their raisers, and puppy sitters will be limited to the following residence halls and floors of residence halls:

• Apartment Community
• Ritchie Quad Townhouses
• Leitzell Suites
• 1st floor of Hilltop House
• 1st floor of van Ess Hall
• 1st floor of Saxton Hall
• 2nd floor of Wilder Hall

Students with allergies and/or fear of dogs should note that these floors and residence halls could have dogs.

Students that are raising, sitting, or interested in becoming a raiser or sitter for the Guiding Eyes for the Blind program should select housing accordingly.

Hall Council and Resident Student Organization

Hall Council

Hall Councils are the student-led, committee-based groups of students in each of the Residence Areas. Hall Councils address quality of life issues and help build community by sponsoring Residence Area-wide programming. Each Hall Council is comprised of Residents, one or two RAs, and the Area Coordinator as the Advisor.

Hall Council members are residents of that area who attend meetings, help create programs, spread the word about programs happening and attend programs. The goal is for each floor or block to have a representative who attends the meetings who can share information to their floor or block.

There is a Hall Council for each Residence Area though some areas may be combined:

Resident Student Organization (RSO)

Resident Student Organization (RSO) is the overarching term for the group that represents students living on campus.

The RSO is a group of students who live in residence at Hartwick College and work together to represent the interests and needs of all resident students. The RSO will embody the mission of the Office of Residential Life & Housing. The RSO is comprised of the each building’s Hall Council Representatives and any resident student who would like to join. The RSO works toward providing support in establishing equitable community standards to improve life in the residence areas. The members of RSO are very involved and take an active role in making residence living, safe, fun, supportive, engaging, and comfortable. The RSO will increase the sense of individual and group responsibility among resident students and will plan and implement social, educational, and community-based programs across campus.

The RSO has an executive board comprised of a President, Vice President, Historian/Recorder, Public Relations Coordinator, and two RSO Senate Representatives with active members and general members. The Advisor to RSO is the Assistant Director of Residential Life & Housing.

The RSO meets weekly on Tuesdays at 6 p.m. in Dewar Union, Room 401.

Living with a Roommate

Roommate Bill of Rights

Roommate Agreements

To ensure a positive living environment, each group of roommates/suitemates must complete a roommate agreement together. The roommate agreement must be reviewed with the RA of the floor in which the roommates reside. During roommate disagreements, the roommate agreement will be revisited and adjusted. If the agreement is violated, Residential Life and Housing staff have the ability to change housing assignments if appropriate and necessary.

Roommate Expectations

Sharing a room and living in close quarters with other students on a residence hall floor requires compromise and consideration 24 hours a day. It is blatantly unfair for one roommate to monopolize the room, regardless of the overt acceptance of this arrangement by the other roommate. Roommates must develop a clear understanding that assures fairness and consideration.

When situations arise that cause disturbance in community living, such as disrespect for others, noise, or abuse of physical surroundings, students are encouraged to work together as roommates, suitemates, a floor, a hall, or a house to achieve a healthy balance in their shared living environment.
If interpersonal frictions arise that are not amenable to a workable solution, advice and counsel should be sought from the Resident Advisors. When appropriate, referrals will be made for roommate agreements.

Roommate Tips

Have you ever shared a room with someone? For some students, living with a roommate will be a new experience. While you and your roommate do not have to be close friends or share in every aspect of each other’s lives, you do have to live together and share in many aspects of college life. The best way for you and your roommate to get to know each other and avoid unintentional conflicts is to talk about your likes, dislikes, sensitivities, and attitudes.

Your roommate most likely grew up in a different family, was educated in a different school, formed a different set of friends, and developed a set of values, beliefs, opinions, and habits that are different from your own. Most of us often overlook that our own habits, behaviors, and attitudes may cause unintended aggravation to others.

Some find it awkward at first to explore each other’s backgrounds, goals, motivations, and lifestyles. Others have little difficulty finding these conversations. However, the patterns of cooperation, communication, and mutual trust can help make your room an enjoyable and comfortable place to live. We encourage you to sit down together and work out a living environment that is mutually agreeable. Your RA is available to assist you in getting to know your roommate and to help you complete a roommate agreement.

Effective Packing

Hartwick residence halls provide you with a bed, dresser, closet, desk and chair, window shade, and comfortable living space.

As most occupants of typical residence hall rooms would tell you, being creative with the space you have is the key to success. Amazing things can be accomplished with a few common items. Milk crates or other plastic stackable storage items are extremely useful for organizing your books, sweaters, and laundry. You also might want to invest in space-saving hangers (you can find them in most stores that sell home goods) that are meant for more than one item. Some hold up to four pairs of jeans.

It’s a good idea to get in touch with your future roommate before move-in day. This will give you an opportunity to coordinate who will bring what. Perhaps you have a great stereo you can’t live without; there’s no need for two stereos or two TVs. It will save space in your room later on, and also provide an opportunity to break the ice with your future roommate!

Keep in mind:

• Your room here at Hartwick may not be as big as your room at home.
• If there are clothes in your closet that you haven’t worn in the past two years, it would be a good idea to leave them home; chances are you won’t start wearing them now!
• It does not snow in September. Do not bring your heaviest winter boots and coats until later in the semester. If you’re going home for the fall break, plan to bring these items back at that time. If you’re not planning a trip home before cold weather hits, pack a box before you leave and ask your family to ship it to you in November.
• Once you’ve been at Hartwick for a while, you’ll begin to notice that living space in a residence room decreases proportionally with the number of times you’ve gone shopping! Count on a 40% increase in possessions by May, and leave room for them.

After you’ve gathered the basics, there may be a few comforts of home that you’ve forgotten.
It may make move-in day easier if you wait to purchase some of these items when you get to campus (either in our campus store or at a local store) once you see what your room still needs or is missing.

Items to consider:

What Not to Bring

Amenities

Laundry

All of our traditional residence halls, suites and townhouses each have a convenient laundry room. Each laundry room is equipped with multiple energy-efficient washers and dryers. All washers and dryers are operated by the Hartwick College Wickit ID card with funds provided by the students. Cost for washing is $1.25 per load, and .75 for drying, per load. 

Laundry detergent, bleach, fabric softener, and dryer sheets are not provided and must be purchased by the student at the college bookstore or off-campus. 

Hartwick College utilizes the Laundryview Monitoring System for students to check the status of the washers and dryers in their residence hall, report problems with washers and dryers, and determine the best time to do laundry.

Microwaves and Refrigerators

Microwaves are not allowed in any residence hall room, except for in the kitchens of the townhouses or if they are a part of the micro-fridge unit.

Each student is allowed to have a small (less than 5.0 cubic feet) refrigerator or micro-fridge in their residence hall room.

Students may find it more convenient to rent a refrigerator or micro-fridge from the Refrigerator Leasing Company that services Hartwick College. It is a great way to make moving in and out of the residence halls easier.

Bed and Linens

All residential rooms at Hartwick College are furnished with extra-long twin beds (an extra-long twin mattress is 36″ x 80″). Beds are adjustable to various heights and configurations, including bunking of beds. Except for certain rooms in Hilltop and Oyaron Houses, lofting of beds is not allowed.
Residents may elevate a bed by placing one cinder block horizontally under each leg or by using commercial bed risers. Residents are responsible for the removal and disposal of cinder blocks at check out.

Each student will need to bring his or her own pillows, mattress pad, sheets, and blankets as these are not supplied. Hartwick College works with a Residence Hall Linens company to provide linens for Hartwick Students to purchase.

Furnishings

Each resident is provided an extra-long twin bed, a desk and chair, a freestanding or built-in dresser, and a built-in closet or free-standing wardrobe.

All windows are provided with blinds. Bathrooms in the townhouses, Leitzell suites and common bathrooms are provided a shower curtain.

Townhouses are additionally furnished with a dining table, chairs, coffee table, and couch. Townhouse kitchens include a full-size refrigerator and electric range and built-in cabinets for storage of dishware, utensils, and food.

Leitzell suites are additionally furnished with a love seat.

Traditional residence halls also include a TV lounge (basic cable service provided), at least one study lounge, a kitchen or kitchenette (complete with an electric range, microwave, refrigerator, and sink), a self-service laundry room, and a vending area.

To prevent loss or damage to College property, students may not disassemble or remove any College property from a room, suite, townhouse, lounge, or common area. Students may not block any exits from a room, suite, townhouse, lounge, or common area with furniture.

Common Areas

Common areas of our residence halls offer our students a place to study, hang out, watch a movie, and play some pool, ping pong, or foosball. These areas and their furnishings are for all residents to enjoy.
Kitchens

Each residence hall kitchen or kitchenette has a microwave, an electric range and oven, a refrigerator/freezer, counter space, and cabinets. While kitchens are not intended to prepare a resident’s daily meals, residents have the option to bake and prepare food for special occasions.

Vending

Vending machines are available in every residence hall to satisfy that craving for a snack or cold beverage. All vending machines accept the Hartwick College Wickit Card and cash for convenience.

Lounges

There is at least one study lounge and one social lounge in each traditional residence hall. Some social lounges include a kitchen or kitchenette. Lounge TVs have basic cable service and can also be used for watching movies and gaming. Study lounges are also “wireless” access locations. Lounges are used for floor programs and can be reserved for special occasions. Reserve the space with your Residential Life professional staff member.
