Residential Life
Residential life at The Frederick Gunn School is all about community. It's about finding your friend group and learning to live respectfully with others. More than any other space on campus, your House becomes a home away from home — the place where you learn to be independent, manage your time, and become self-reliant.
Teddy dorm rooms are mostly large singles with a few doubles.
Decorate your dorm room! Personalize your space and make it your own.
One student described it as a seven-day sleepover — with homework. You’re with people who quickly become your closest friends.
The Frederick Gunn School is a small, close-knit community. The friends you make here — sharing a room, hanging out in the common room, talking with your House parents, eating pizza, helping a classmate with math — are often friends for life. Ask our alumni; they'll tell you.
houses at Gunn:
- We have 10 single-sex Houses.
- The largest House can accommodate 50 students; the smallest, 10.
- Most students live in singles or doubles; a few live in triples or quads.
- All Houses have a common room with comfy couches, a TV, and microwave — a quiet place to catch up on homework, or a hub for hanging out.
- Day students have a room on campus too, most paired with a boarding roommate, so there's always a place to study, change before practice, or stay over if you need to.
- Student RAs (Residential Assistants) also help un each dorm. As returning students, they know the community well and help new students feel at home. Beyond day-to-day support, RAs also lead House community service activities and take charge when your House competes for the House Cup.
