SIG at Vassar College: Campus Life

Housing and Meals

Students live in dormitory groups of approximately 10-14 same age and gender students under the direct supervision of a Counselor. Students spend most of their free and recreational time with their Counselor Group.

Counselor Groups eat together during mealtime in the dining hall, and participate in group and teambuilding activities at least once a week.

Three to four Counselor Groups are combined together to form a SIG house, which is supervised by both a Resident Assistant and a Housemaster.

All Housemasters report directly to the Residential Dean, who is responsible for the overall organization of the session’s residential programming.

Dining and Meals

Meals are served buffet-style in the college dining halls on campus.

Campus Services

Athletic Facilities

Athletic facilities vary by campus and may include gyms, tennis and basketball courts, swimming pools and outdoor fields. During the three-week session, these facilities may be shared with other programs; however, they always are supervised by our staff during scheduled programs. Students cannot use athletic facilities during unsupervised periods.

Laundry

We encourage students to use the laundry facilities located on campus. Machine washers and dryers are available at no or nominal costs. Counselors can assist students with doing their laundry.
