Housing Options

The College provides four housing options in a comfortable and safe living environment. To help you succeed academically, we offer a “quiet floor” living option, study groups, tutoring, and other support services. Internet access is also provided.

Rancourt Hall

The newest residence hall on campus offers double-occupancy rooms with individual heat and air conditioning controls. Four handicap-accessible rooms are available, and the first-floor lounge has a big screen TV. The “Treetops” conference room on the fourth floor, available for study groups and student events, offers a panoramic view of the campus and Lake Auburn. Rancourt Hall provides each student with their own bed, bureau, desk, and closet.

Fortin Hall

The recently renovated Fortin Hall is the hub of residence life activity.  The game room and lounge on the ground floor includes ping pong and pool tables, foosball and air hockey, arcade games, TVs, sofas and a surround-sound system. Fortin Hall provides each student with their own bed, bureau, desk, and closet.

The Apartments

We offer apartment-style living in our two apartment buildings located right next to the residence halls. Each apartment has four bedrooms with one main living area and a shared bathroom. One of the apartments is handicap accessible for one or two people. The Apartments provide each student with their own bed, bureau, desk, and closet.

Mustang Hall

Mustang Hall is our off-campus residence hall and is located only 1.5 miles from campus. Both double and triple occupancy rooms are available. Each room is furnished with the appropriate number of beds, private bathroom, minifridge, and flat screen TV. Up to one hundred and seventy-eight students can live in this completely renovated, updated hall. This hall will be managed by a full-time resident director and resident assistants. Ongoing activities will be offered, and a bus service is available directly to the college.
