HOUSING A BRIEF GUIDE TO
FIRST-YEAR HOUSING: Most of the first-year class lives in South Quad, where all halls have AC and printing stations. » Bishop Roberts Hall is known as BR for short. A tunnel leading from BR to Longden Hall provides easy access to the Den in Longden Hall. » College Street Hall is small at only 45 students. Lounges on each floor bring people together to build a sense of community. » Hogate Hall offers suite-style living for first-year students. Each floor has two wings, and each wing has four suites and a small kitchen. » Humbert Hall is located in South Quad between Longden and Hogate. The four-story, red-brick building houses 135 students. » Longden Hall, like neighboring Humbert Hall, overlooks the Dells area, a small park-like spot where you can find students relaxing or playing sand volleyball.
“Everyone at DePauw is good at making sure that their studies come first. But everyone’s also really social. It’s kind of a weird dichotomy of being buried in the books and finding your friends and asking how people’s days are.” CHIP
LIVING ON CAMPUS is part of life at DePauw. Options vary from single rooms to suites to apartments. The communities are like neighborhoods. People gather to talk about the latest campus news, bounce ideas around and share their plans – and their food. What starts out as a community of first-year students evolves into a range of other communities – Greek chapters or themed houses and other student groups – and then into the more independent living spaces of University duplexes and apartments.
