Choose from the options listed (left) to see what kinds of housing Evergreen offers for freshmen.
Freshman Halls
First Year Halls provide a dynamic living learning environment with enhanced staff to resident ratios and resources to support students in their transition to college life at Evergreen. The First Year Halls are designed to meet the needs of freshman students who are participating in a dining plan.
Freshman Reduced Allergen
The Reduced Allergen community was created for students who wish to live around others committed to reduced allergen housing. This housing community is for non-smokers and is also free of animals. Please understand that these housing areas have no additional allergen protections beyond our standard practices which include low/no-VOC paint and environmentally friendly cleaning supplies. Information about mold prevention (which can be an issue in this climate, particularly in a community located among so many trees) is available.
Freshman Quiet
Quiet Housing was created for residents who requested an environment that will remain quiet for study, sleep and recreation. Residents and their guests agree to low noise levels regardless of the time of day or day of the week.
Designated quiet hours in Freshman Quiet:
- Sunday through Thursday from 7 p.m. to 9 a.m.
- Friday and Saturday from midnight to 10 a.m.
Residential and Dining Services expects residents living in Freshman Quiet to confront noise violations in their living space, hallways and entryways. If this confrontation is unsuccessful, contact your Resident Assistant or Police Services.
Residents who create a noise disturbance in Freshman Quiet will receive a warning and/or be referred to arbitration to be held accountable to the community noise standards. If residents are unable or unwilling to resolve their dispute, it may result in their removal from the Freshman Quiet community.
