The Division of Student Affairs
Residential Life at Washington and Lee University is divided into three distinct areas:
All first-year and sophomore students are required to live in on-campus housing. Many juniors and seniors also elect to live on campus or live close to campus in apartments or homes in the Lexington community. Due to extensive residence hall renovations beginning in the summer 2013, on campus housing will only be provided for W&L undergraduate students. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate law students until renovation projects conclude in the late summer of 2015.
