Benedict Hall, a coed residence hall built in 1963, is one of three residence halls on campus whose rooms are arranged around a central, enclosed courtyard. The large, well-lit courtyard serves as a popular site for student gatherings and activities.

Layout

Benedict is home to 96 students living exclusively in double room suites. Each suite is composed of two double bedrooms connected to individual study rooms, adjoined by a central bathroom. The closets, enclosed in the wall, are without doors; many students choose to bring a four-foot tension rod to hang a curtain. All rooms are carpeted, and windows are furnished with blinds. Average room: 12' x 11', windows 5' x 4' | Average study room: 8 ' x 10 ', window 3'4" x 3'1"
