1. Take into consideration Estabrooke Hall if you are an upperclassman that doesn't want to live in a traditional dormitory setting.

Rooms at Estabrooke are 10 feet by 12 feet in measurement and provide enough space for a bed, desk and closet. This dormitory also offers continuous housing, meaning that students are permitted to remain in the building even during school breaks.

Residents of Cumberland Hall are offered double-occupancy, traditional-style rooms as well as a small number of single rooms. Each room measures 11 feet 6 inches by 12 feet 4 inches. Students in this dormitory share a common bathroom and are separated into clusters on each floor by gender.
