Campus Life
Traditional Halls
Traditional Residence Halls house the majority of first-year students and offer the best environment for them to learn about campus, get to know each other, and live the traditional residence experience with their fellow classmates. Traditional halls consists of doubles, triples, and in a few cases quads. The halls (with the exception of Van Winkle, which is all female) are co-educational by floor or wing. Each floor or wing has its own single-sex bathroom for residents of that community. The three traditional halls on campus are McClelland Hall, Van Winkle Hall, and Woodland Hall.
