On-campus housing for freshmen, upperclassmen
Lawrence Hall, originally built as the Sherwyn Hotel, houses approximately 450 students on the ninth through 20th floors. Each floor is coed. The building also houses the Lawrence Hall Dining Room on the third floor, the Point Café on the second floor, and a wireless study lounge on the fourth floor, as well as a great lounge for hanging out on the first floor. Single rooms are available, as well as rooms for two and three people.
