Living on Campus

Nearly 1,200 students live on campus in six residence halls. Five of the halls are co-ed and one, Browne Hall, is for women only. The college's four freshman halls feature social lounges, laundry areas, and kitchen facilities. Browne and Thorp Halls have suites of eight to twelve single rooms clustered around a common study-living area. Sweet and Willard feature double occupancy rooms, and Sweet has provisions for students with disabilities. Upperclassmen live in Weber Hall, which also offers suite-style living, or in the newest and largest hall, which opened in 2007 and has apartment and suite-style rooms. Freshman may have cars on campus.
