Housing
The full Reunion Weekend
fee includes lodging for Friday and Saturday
nights in academy dormitories. For the Grand
Classes and 50th Reunion, housing includes
Thursday night. Wherever possible, all members
of a particular reunion class will be housed
together, late registrations excepted. Dormitory
rooms are singles, accommodating only one adult.
If you stay on campus with a guest, you will
each be assigned a separate room as close
together as possible. We also remind you that
the Deerfield dormitories are essentially those
you knew and loved during your student days.
Rooms are provided with linen and shared,
gender-specific bath. Children will share a room
with a parent and should bring their own
sleeping bag or bedding. We do not provide
sleeping bags or pillows for children. If you
desire additional 'creature comforts', such as
private baths, larger beds and air conditioning,
you may wish to stay at a local inn or motel. There is no reduction in fees if
you stay off campus.
