Seton Hall University is a residential campus with almost half the student body living on campus. Most first-year students live in Boland Hall, the freshman residence hall. Theme-style housing, arranged by floors and wings, such as a Women's Power House and an International Relations House, allows students with similar interests to live and learn together. Rooms are arranged either as doubles or as four-person suites.
Residents share study lounges, laundry rooms and TV areas.
Five additional residence halls on campus offer many living options to upper-class students. Seton Hall University has taken the lead across campus in upgrading fire safety standards. All residence hall rooms are fitted with smoke detectors and sprinklers. Throughout the year, students participate in evacuation drills and fire safety programs. The residence hall staff also undergoes intensive fire safety training before the start of each semester.
