The Old Campus is the complex of buildings at Yale University that houses incoming freshmen from 10 out of 12 Yale's residential colleges. Although students are assigned a residential college before starting their studies at Yale, they live in Old Campus dormitories during their freshman year and move into their colleges at the beginning of sophomore year. Students at Silliman College and Timothy Dwight College live in their colleges for all four years.

In addition to freshman dormitories Lanman-Wright Hall (1912), Durfee Hall (1871), Farnam Hall (1870), Lawrance Hall (1886), Welch Hall (1891), Bingham Hall( 1928), and Vanderbilt Hall (1894), annexed upperclassmen live in McClellan Hall (1925) . Connecticut Hall (1753), the oldest of the buildings on the Yale campus, and the only remnant of the Old Brick Row, as well as Phelps Hall (1924), Dwight Chapel (1846), Battell Chapel (1876), and Linsly-Chittenden Hall (1890-1907) are also located on the Old Campus.

Old Campus is host to several activities during the school year, including Freshman Olympics, Spring Fling and Commencement in May.
