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 92 students living exclusively in double room suites. Each suite is gender-specific, with exclusively male suites beside exclusively female 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"
