About Josselyn House
Opened in 1912, Olivia Josselyn House, or “Joss” as it’s commonly known, is the second largest residence hall after Main Building, housing 237 students. Joss had the distinction of being the first residence hall on campus to have showers. They were a vast improvement over the 16 bathtubs in Main that so impressed Vassar students when the College opened. “I took a splendid bath today,” said one of the first, writing home to her parents.
