The dorms

Four private rooms, one shared kitchen, three buildings.

A Hillside quad is four students. You each get your own bedroom. You share a bathroom with one of them and a kitchen and living room with all three. Rooms are assigned on availability.

Four private bedrooms

Your own room, with a closet, a chest of drawers, and a desk with a lamp fitted to it.

Two bathrooms

Shared between two of you rather than all four, and never with the rest of the floor.

A separate kitchen

Full size fridge, cook top, microwave, toaster and coffee maker, in a room away from the bedrooms.

Laundry in Building 1

Pay per use, six days a week, a short walk from any of the three buildings.

Short stays

Not a student? Rooms are let short-term too.

When the dorms are not at capacity we take tenants on a short-term basis. Availability changes with the academic calendar, so the only way to know is to ask.

Send the dates you have in mind and the housing office will tell you what is free.
