Congratulations! Welcome to the Harvard community. We are excited that you are considering Vanderbilt Hall for housing while you pursue your studies on campus.

Vanderbilt Hall Houses students enrolled in a full-time degree program from the following Harvard schools:

  • Harvard Medical School
  • Harvard School of Dental Medicine
  • Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
  • Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (Division of Medical Sciences - exclusively)

Incoming first year students enrolled in a full-time degree program at one of the aforementioned schools will receive a link to the StarRez portal to apply for housing from their admissions office upon acceptance of Harvard’s offer. Housing contracts are sent to applicants in June.

Incoming students admitted in May or later and current residents who miss the renewal deadline will be placed on a waitlist, and a room will be assigned as they become available.

Request for Housing Accommodations:

Students who have a disability that necessitates an accommodation must contact their Local Disability Coordinator(LDC). In most cases the LDC will ask for documentation from an appropriate clinician. That documentation should detail any functional limitation(s) and the recommended accommodations. In order to receive the most expedient consideration of a request for accommodations, the LDC should receive clinical documentation by April 30. Please visit this link for a listing of each school's LDC.

Vanderbilt Hall features five accessible bedrooms with private bathrooms, one of which includes a small kitchenette. Priority for these rooms is determined based on student and university needs.
