Clark University

Clark University was founded in 1887 as the first all-graduate institution in the country. Today, Clark promotes a rigorous liberal arts curriculum within the context of a research experience that addresses challenges on a global scale.

For more than 130 years, Clark University has thrived at the nexus of world-class teaching, boundary-pushing discovery, and creative invention. The father of rocket science. The founder of the American Psychological Association. A co-inventor of the birth control pill. Members of our community have always challenged convention and found ways to change our world for the better.

Clark University’s mission is to educate undergraduate and graduate students to be imaginative and contributing citizens of the world, and to advance the frontiers of knowledge and understanding through rigorous scholarship and creative effort.

The University seeks to prepare students to meet the challenges of a complex and rapidly changing society. In students and faculty, Clark fosters a commitment to excellence in studying traditional academic disciplines, as well as innovation in exploring questions that cross disciplinary boundaries. The free pursuit of inquiry and the free exchange of ideas are central to that commitment.

The focus of Clark’s academic program is a liberal arts education enriched by interactions among undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty, and is closely linked to a select number of professional programs. Clark also serves students who wish to continue formal education throughout their lives.

On-Campus Housing

• First-Year and Transfer Students
• Graduate Housing
• Summer Housing

On-campus housing is available for both undergraduate and graduate students who will be taking courses, conducting research or engaging in other academically related programs during the summer. Each summer a limited number of residence halls and houses will be available for this purpose. If you are already in residence in the spring semester you will be able to transition directly from semester housing to summer housing and vice-versa with no gaps in between.

Each room on campus is equipped with a bed and mattress (extra-long twin), a desk, a chair, bookshelves, a closet or wardrobe, a chest of drawers, and window drapes for each student.
Students typically bring the following items with them to campus: clothing, bedding, toiletries, school supplies, dishes and other cookware, room decorations, additional storage containers.

Off-Campus Housing
Our apartment listing service is powered by Jump Off-Campus, and allows for postings to be listed anytime.  Listings are viewable online through a map which lets users click on a given property to view details, email the landlord, etc.  Postings are priced per month and includes photos.  As a landlord, the advantages of this service are extensive:  Some of the benefits include:

• No need to visit the RLH Office to post or pay for your listings, all can be done electronically online.
• No checks or cash necessary – pay instantly with your credit card or through your PayPal account – with no fees added.
• No deadlines to remember:  Whenever you post begins a 30-day listing.  If you want to post for longer, you can select multiple months as well.
• Even when your posting expires, or you rent the unit, your property information and photos (if applicable) remain in your account.  Re-listing them is as simple as logging in and clicking activate.
• Edit your properties on the fly.  If you change price, amenities, etc – you just need to log in and make those adjustments.
• These listings appeal to potential tenants – they show the tenants photos of the property, and allow them to see the relationship of the property to campus or other rental units.  Incoming graduate students who are not familiar with Clark can now figure out housing availability without physically visiting campus.
