RESIDENCE HALLS
Most of the 21 residence halls on campus are located in three geographic groupings. These traditional halls house between 140 and 225 students. Students in each hall plan their own activities, so they vary from hall to hall. Some of the functions include parties and mixers to which students from other colleges are invited; coffee houses with both on- and off-campus performers; international dinners which reflect the tastes and culinary talents of students; softball games and other sports activities; movies; guest speakers, meetings, and skills workshops. Most residence halls have their own or commonly shared dining halls, which also fosters a sense of community. They also have cooking facilities for those interested in preparing a quick snack or a full meal, and they are equipped with laundry facilities that include coin-operated washers, dryers, ironing boards, irons, and drying racks. The halls provide comfortable living quarters, study rooms, formal living rooms, and smaller common rooms for social gatherings, group discussions, guest lectures, dinners with faculty members, meetings, and parties. All residence halls also have television rooms. Most have pianos.
