Until 1958, resident students lived in houses rented by the school and administered by house mothers. One house was reserved for freshmen, and the other houses had a mix of the remaining classes. Living in such close proximity, the students of each house formed small communities, putting on their own social events and fostering close bonds of friendship between girls.

In 1958, the Ruth Page Sweet dormitory opened on the Tufts University campus, and housed all the upperclass Bouvé students. After the move to Northeastern University, Bouvé students were assimilated into University housing.
