Telecommunications Guide for Students

Dormitory Telephone Service

Every floor of each residence hall is equipped with at least one hallway phone for free on-campus and local calls. In-room telephone service is no longer provided.  Pre-paid calling cards may be purchased, for long-distance calls, at the Vassar College Bookstore.

Dial-tones will still be available in the all apartment housing.  Students must provide their own phone.  Local calls are free.  Long-distance calls require a calling card.
