Saint Anselm College's Hilltop campus centers on historic Alumni Hall, rebuilt after a fire destroyed the original just ten days before its 1889 completion, with most freshman men living in Dominic Hall and most freshman women in Joan of Arc or Baroody Halls.

Fall 2026 Move-In Dates
On move-in day, faculty, staff, and fellow students help unload your car as soon as you arrive. Every fall sports team - well over 300 student-athletes - along with resident assistants and orientation leaders, typically turn out to support the move-in effort. This specific date should be confirmed directly with Saint Anselm's Office of Residence Life closer to move-in, given genuine uncertainty in the sources available at the time of research.
August 28 - August 29, 2026

Move-in day tips
- Arrive during your assigned window - early arrivals often just wait longer.
- Bring a rolling cart or hand truck; loading-zone carts run out fast.
- Parking near freshman halls fills up quickly - have a backup plan or drop-off spot.
- Loading zones usually enforce a strict time limit (often 30 minutes) before you're expected to move your car to long-term parking.
- Activate your student ID online before you arrive - many schools require it for building and elevator access from day one.
- If you want your bed lofted or the frame height adjusted, check whether your school needs that request submitted online in advance - most won't do it on the spot.
- Check your school's specific package-acceptance window before shipping anything ahead - most won't hold early deliveries outside a set date range.
- Unpack essentials first: bedding, toiletries, and chargers, before anything else.
