Class members and their spouses/partners/guests are Colby guests for the weekend, but you must complete and return the reservation form for all meals you plan to attend and for on-campus accommodations so we can reserve space for you.
 
Meals
Please indicate on the registration form which meals you plan to attend. Please join us for the Reunion Carnival on Friday evening for fun activities for the whole family. Meals may be purchased at the Joseph Family Spa.

Class of ’58, the Class of ’53, and the Golden Mules Society 1923-1950 are guests of the College, but members of those classes must indicate on the registration form which meals they plan to attend.

There is a reduced rate for children ages 5-12 for most meals. On Saturday evening children's meals are included in the child-care package. Complimentary meals (excluding the lobster) will be provided for children age 4 and under.
 
Housing
Housing is available in residence halls on campus, and reservations are made in the order received. We house classes together as space permits. Please make reservations promptly.

Children in their own cribs are free. There is a reduced rate for other children up to age 12.

Remember, accommodations in the residence halls are not luxurious, and bathrooms are shared, but they are convenient to campus events. Included are a single bed, one pillow, sheets, one blanket, and towels. Consider bringing, if possible, an extra blanket, pillow, towels, or bedside lamp to meet your personal preferences. Each residence hall is different; rooms range from singles to six-person suites.

If you think dorm life is roughing it too much, see the list of local hotel options to make your own arrangements.
