The Office of Residence Life fosters a residential experience aimed at supporting students in their academic pursuits, personal growth, and participation in an interdependent community.
Residence life oversees the experience of living on campus at Reed. Our team includes both professional staff members, and students, who fill the role of house advisors.
Residence life coordinates placement in on-campus housing, facilitates community-focused programming, and ensures a safe and welcoming environment in the residence halls and other college housing options for students.
