Welcome

Welcome to Timothy Dwight College, Class of 2029! 

Congratulations and welcome to Timothy Dwight College—home of the Red Lions! We are absolutely delighted to welcome you into TD.

Timothy Dwight College is more than just a residential college—it’s a uniquely vibrant, tight-knit community within Yale, where roots take hold and lasting friendships are formed. TD is the closest college to downtown New Haven and the city’s thriving arts district. Our historic buildings stretch across two blocks of Temple Street, from Wall to Grove, encircling our beloved courtyard, while the iconic Rosenfeld Hall anchors the corner of Temple and Grove with quiet grandeur.

Here at TD, you’ll find more than just a place to live—you’ll find a place to belong, a place to be fully and completely yourself. As you’ll soon see, ours is a warm, spirited, and supportive community. We truly cannot wait to meet you in person when you move in this August!

Meet Head Dinkler and Dean Mahurin!
Meet your First Year Counselors (FroCos)
