First Year Residence Halls

Each of our first-year residence halls — Alpha, Hart and Sigma — are amazing places for students to begin their college journey. All three are coed buildings with same-gender floors and include laundry, lounge space and a common kitchen area. Alpha and Hart are “community style” dorms with large shared bathrooms on each floor, and Sigma is a “suite style” dorm with bathrooms shared between two-room suites.
