Residence halls on both sides have their own distinct features. The residence halls are surrounded by trees and recreational fields and near the academic buildings on Mather Quad, Thwing Student Center, Arabica Coffee House, and the new Kelvin Smith Library. Eleven residence halls comprise the North Residential Village. These buildings have double rooms which you share with a roommate. Some single rooms are available for third and fourth-year students.
All buildings have elevators.
Norton , Raymond , Sherman , Smith , Taft , and Tyler houses make up the Mather Area. Each floor has a lounge and community bathroom. Quiet study rooms are located throughout each residence hall. Norton and Tyler Houses are smoke-free buildings. Just east of the Mather Area is the Adelbert Area, which consists of Clarke Tower , Cutler , Hitchcock , Pierce , and Storrs houses.
