All floors of the dormitory are mixed-gender. Room placements are made based on our housing questionnaire. Bard College offers gender neutral housing, allowing residents to indicate whether they would like to be paired with roommates of the same gender, or be matched with a roommate without consideration of gender identity, sex or gender expression. Choosing gender neutral housing means you may be paired with a roommate whose gender identity may not match your own. Residents may request to live in a substance-free room.
