Housing and Residence Life
Founders Hall
Founders Hall has mostly double rooms, and hallways often become the spaces for informal study and social gatherings. Its horseshoe shape makes it easy to know your way around the building and ensures many rooms overlook the central courtyard. Kennedy Union and the Central Mall are outside the building's north doors, so residents are always near the hustle and bustle of campus and most academic buildings.
