Did you know?

Freshmen live in the same dorms as upperclass students with the exception of the Omega dormitory complex which is all upperclassmen. With the addition of Omega, some freshmen have been admitted to the Nu dormitory complex.

The dorm cluster pictured is one of the seven like it at Eckerd College. Each dorm cluster consists of four dorms, or "houses", each of which accommodates about thirty-four students.

The Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon dormitory clusters were built in 1963 and 1964. Kappa and Zeta clusters were added in 1970. Dorms can be all male, all female, or coed by floor. Eckerd also offers substance free housing to students who prefer to live in a dorm in which alcohol and tobacco products are prohibited.



For students with pets, two of the clusters on campus are designated "pet dorms" in which students are allowed to have dogs or cats live with them, provided the animals meet certain requirements.


Each dorm room is furnished with beds, dressers, desks, and chairs. Any other items must be brought by the students living in the rooms. Items such as refrigerators and couches are allowed but are not included with the rooms. Dorm rooms also have closets, cable TV with approximately 70 channels including HBO and the Disney Channel, a phone line, and T1 Ethernet connections for high speed internet access.


Dorm rooms can be single, double, or triple occupancy in size. In some cases, 2 people will live in a triple-occupancy room or one person in a double-occupancy room. Each dorm house has a community bathroom on both floors. Most of the dorms have recently remodeled bathrooms. And yes, the dorms are air conditioned!
