Pack for all types of North Country weather. Class receptions, dinners and presidential events are typically business casual attire (blazers, khakis, button-down shirts, skirts, and dresses, etc.). The remainder of the weekend is more casual.
On campus housing is available for all Reunion guests and on campus guests are housed in the same residential facility as those from their celebrating class or milestone. The rate is one flat fee of $85 per person (children stay free) no matter when you arrive on campus for the weekend. Bed linens, a towel, a pillow, and a blanket are provided. Remember that these are residence halls and we encourage you to pack your comforts from home, such as:
• alarm clock
• blow dryer
• hangers
• hand mirror
• small reading light
• shampoo and conditioner, etc.
• extra blanket and/or pillow
A limited number of family suites are available to those alumni who will be returning to campus with children. Each suite includes a kitchenette, common/living area, bathroom and multiple twin beds.
Housing is not available in current theme houses, Greek houses, or townhouses.
“Camp Laurentian” and “RV Village” are free “on-campus” housing options for registered Reunioners. You will be able to select this option while registering for the weekend. An additional link to complete information for either of these options will be sent to those who choose one of these options during registration.
Off-campus lodging availability is limited and arrangements should be made independently.
All housing is processed on a first-come, first-serve basis. Your accommodations for the weekend will be with classmates from your milestone year. Individual guests are placed in rooms by themselves.
If you want to room with someone: Happy to help! Whether it’s a double or triple, we ask that you complete one registration form together. This way, our housing coordinator will know to put you in the same room.
If you want to be near someone in your milestone/affinity dorm: Please coordinate your registration time so that you’re close together. Our housing coordinator places guests as registrations come in, so your odds are greatest when submitting at/near the same time. With approximately 1,000 Laurentians expected on campus, we are not able to process block housing requests nor adjust housing after the fact. We appreciate your understanding as we look to maximize campus space for all.
Family housing is available for those bringing children. Housing in Greek, Theme, or Townhouse facilities is not available during Reunion Weekend 2024.
Guests who register individually are traditionally given their own room.

The goal throughout Reunion Weekend 2024 will be to maintain the safety of our alumni, guests, staff, and student workers. This year, we are back to a more normal way of operating. Masking on campus is optional and based on each person's choice and comfort level.
During Reunion Weekend 2024
• Registration will have masks and hand sanitizer available.
• Indoor events will have masks available at the entrances.
We recognize that returning guests may have varying comfortability levels. As a Laurentian Community, we ask you to respect those who wish to remain masked during the weekend or at events where social distancing is harder to maintain. As noted we will look to have safety supplies (masks and hand sanitizer) available for personal use throughout the weekend.
These current guidelines are subject to change and may be influenced by State, local, and University expectations at the time of the event. Heightened expectations would be communicated via email to all registered guests and will also be noted here. Please check back closer to the event for any updates.
