Earlham College

What are the popular events and traditions at Earlham College?

Earlham's recurring campus activities include a semester-opening Earlham Extravaganza and Homecoming events. These provide different opportunities to gather: the opening celebration helps bring students together near the start of a term, while Homecoming connects current students with alumni.

College event listings also identify a Silent Disco and a Homecoming Dance. Their schedules and formats can change, so they are better understood as documented campus activities than as guaranteed fixtures of every semester. Students interested in the college's broader traditions can look at the current events calendar for performances, lectures, cultural programs, and student-organized gatherings alongside these named events.

What are the student housing and dining options at Earlham College?

Earlham offers college-operated undergraduate housing, including coeducational options, and most students in the reported population live on campus. Housing availability should not be mistaken for a guarantee of a particular building, room type, or roommate arrangement.

Prospective residents should review the current housing application, assignment timeline, and rules for first-year students. Residence-hall access is electronically controlled, and reported housing facilities have high-speed internet. Students comparing options should ask which residences and any apartment-style arrangements are open to their class year, as well as how accessibility accommodations are requested.

Campus dining is available through meal-plan arrangements. Before selecting a plan, students should compare where and when meals can be used, whether unused meals or dining funds carry over, and how dietary needs are handled. Commuters and students seeking off-campus housing should confirm whether their housing status changes meal-plan requirements or eligibility.
