What Is Mansfield Hall?

Mansfield Hall is The Super Dorm for college students.

Mansfield Hall is a living and learning community for college students.

Mansfield Hall is An Idea – The idea that all kinds of young people have the right to build a meaningful life for themselves, and that with the right academic, social, and independent living skill support, and engagement in a community, the college experience can be a great place for students to thrive.

Mansfield Hall is a place where people are celebrated for exactly who they are as they are in the process of becoming who they will be.

Mansfield Hall is where college students can find a safe and supportive place to land, as well as a place where they are provided the extra benefit of a bit longer runway so that they can generate the momentum, speed, and lift required to be able to take off and fly on their own.

Mansfield Hall is a Community. A community of students, parents, and professionals who are passionately committed to helping students find a Sense of Safety, a Sense of Self, and a Sense of Purpose, and who work tirelessly to help students build the critical skills of Self Monitoring, Self Advocacy, and Applied Executive Functioning.

Mansfield Hall is Even More College Than College.

Community Is At The Center Of Everything We Do

Mansfield Hall is a living and learning community which provides residential, academic, executive functioning, social, and independent living skill support to students who are going to college.

We are not the degree-granting institution, but all of our students are taking classes at one of our local colleges

Located in Burlington, VT, Madison, WI, and Eugene, OR – and a Study Abroad option in Reading, UK – our students come to us from around the world in order to be a part of a comprehensive residential living and learning community which provides not only community and connection but also holistic support to facilitate their transition into college, independence, and healthy interdependence as emerging young adults.

Located in iconic college towns, Mansfield Hall students can attend any one of our local schools.

Each site offers:

A Flagship State University
A Community College
Private Colleges or Universities

Although they are welcome to pursue a traditional admissions track, students DO NOT need to formally apply to, or be accepted at, our local schools in order to make the Mansfield Hall decision and start out taking real college classes, for real college credit, right away.

We encourage you to explore our website and watch the videos, as well as connect with us to learn more about how we work with students, and local schools, to support a successful college experience.

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES:

MANSFIELD HALL BELIEVES

A safe, supportive, and diverse community is the best foundation for our college students to transition into young adulthood.
Developing meaningful, positive relationships with students in which we demonstrate our authentic enjoyment of and faith in them creates the optimal conditions for personal, social and intellectual growth and resiliency.
Listening closely to students and inviting them into a collaborative planning process, in which we help them identify and meet their own goals, allows for increased mastery of academic and life skills and an empowering experience of autonomy and agency.
Appropriate academic and social support will allow students with diverse learning needs to excel in a collegiate environment.
Providing a successful and positive collegiate experience to students who would not otherwise have access to this offers them greater life opportunity and creates a richer society.
Partnering with parents to support their child’s growth and their own transition into the new role of parenting young adults is key to ongoing healthy family relationships.
Building interdependence and connection with peers and community members increases students’ capacity to transition to independent young adults.
Encouraging our staff to develop their capacity for self-reflection and pursue professional and personal learning goals increases our effectiveness and joy in the work we do with students.
Evidence-based research enhances our ability to work effectively with our community and should inform our strategies and models for supporting students.
Creating value, meaning, and community for students, parents, staff and our broader collegiate and local communities enriches our relationships and reflects our mission and vision.

Feeling overwhelmed in college- but not sure why? you’re not alone.

The key isn’t just “pushing through”, it’s learning to recognize what’s happening before you hit that wall, and having systems to reset.

That might look like:
• stepping outside for a walk
• box breathing between classes
• putting on a guided meditation
• reaching out to someone you trust

Small supports = big difference over time.

At Mansfield Hall, we help students build the awareness and tools to regulate, recharge, and navigate college in a way that actually works for them.

What’s one thing that helps you reset when you’re overwhelmed?

Excellent week across the board!

People Ops team member Jo touched down in Madison, receiving a warm welcome with coffee and a trip to see the Capitol building. VP of Program Ops Hayley grounded herself and took in the beauty of the Statehouse. Pancakes were served, and Burlington student Nikhil took the stage to perform with his choir.

A great week to zoom out and back in- and reflect on all the things we have to be grateful for!

College can be energizing… and draining.

If you’ve ever felt socially exhausted, you’re not alone.

Understanding your limits (and what helps you recharge) can make all the difference.

Mansfield Hall had the joy of hosting some professionals at our Madison, WI location recently, which included a student panel.

One of the questions asked was: What do you like about Mansfield Hall?

The answer: how inclusive it is.

No one gets to choose the brain they have, but we do get to choose the world we create. We choose to accept, celebrate, and work toward a world that’s more inclusive of every brain and the incredible things they can do.

Happy World Autism Awareness Day. We see you, and we celebrate you for all that you are and all that you can be!

Sensory overload happens when your brain receives more sensory input than it can comfortably process.

Our nervous systems are constantly taking in information, but when there’s too much coming in (or it’s coming too fast) our systems can become overwhelmed.

We get it, and it can be managed with small, intentional supports like reducing input, creating predictable routines, and building in quiet recovery time.
