College-in-the-Woods

The College-in-the-Woods, or more commonly known as CIW, has five residence halls: Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga and Seneca. Residents have found a great sense of community here since 1972. CIW has an excellent dining hall with the best barbecue on campus, a vegan station, and great breakfast items. We also host some fantastic traditions such as Casino-in-the-Woods, where we turn our dining hall into a fully functioning, state-licensed casino, and two different music-oriented events in Woods Jam and WoodStock, featuring local bands and artists. 

The five buildings in CIW are right in the middle of campus with easy access to The Union, academic buildings, and bus routes. We have both suite-style and corridor-style rooms, a brand new co-rec turf field, basketball and volleyball courts, and our own library in the CIW Commons Building with fantastic space to study and tutoring services. 

Oneida Hall is a first-year only building with social and academic activities geared towards having a successful transition to 绿帽社.
