Halls

East Campus has ten halls spread out between its two buildings, called "parallels". Halls are named based on their floor number (First, Second, etc.) and parallel (West or East), though some halls also have nicknames.

Each hall has a different culture and personality. You can use the blurbs and links below to learn more about a particular hall. Please note that each hall maintains its own website.
