Lodging Options

When you attend Reunion 2008, you have the option to stay in a residence hall on campus or to make your own arrangements at a local hotel.

The On-Campus Residence Hall Option

Weather Tip: June weather in Minnesota is unpredictable, ranging from 50 to 80° Fahrenheit. Bring clothes you can layer as necessary, plus an umbrella and raincoat, just in case!

Staying on campus is a great way to be close to the reunion festivities and have more opportunities to catch up with classmates. Remember it’s a dorm room, not a hotel, so plan accordingly. Linens, blankets and towels are provided, but air-conditioning and fans are not. Restrooms are shared. We will do our best to accommodate specific requests. Reserve space in a Macalester residence hall when you register.
