• Residence Halls

    Fitzpatrick Hall

    Fitzpatrick Hall, a co-ed high-rise, is home to our first-year student community. By creating a "Freshman College" within the University, we have provided an environment focused on nurturing and supporting freshmen through an exciting new experience. Students, gender-segregated by floor, are housed in double-person rooms. The first floor "Fireside Lounge" is a great place to meet with friends or hold a study group.     

    • First year student building
    • Double rooms, community bath
    • Each floor has 2 triples
    • Room size: approx. 12'8" x 9'6"
    • Roughly 40 students per floor
    • Two RAs per floor
    • Co-ed by floor

    Siena Hall

    Spiritual Wellness, Pre-Nursing, and Honors residents live in four-person suites. While "quiet-time" in other residences is during certain hours, Siena Hall will maintain round-the-clock quiet, which means that activities within a room (television, music, etc.) should not be able to be heard in the hall. This environment is specifically designed to support the intellectual development of this community of academically-oriented students. Students must remain active members of the Spiritual Wellness, Pre-Nursing, or Honors Programs or have the permission of the Hall Director to remain in Siena Hall.
