Dorm Life Wilbur Wilbur Hall (WIL)
As of this summer, Wilbur and its connected building Kimberly are undergoing some changes—most notably air conditioning and a new roof. Wilbur is the smallest residence hall, housing only 25 or so students. Together, Wilbur and Kimberly are the size of the other dorms.
Kimberly Mary Kimberly Hall (KIM)
Kimberly hall, sometimes called “Kimbo,” houses singles, doubles, triples, and suites. As of this fall, it will have air conditioning. Kimberly is the first of the newer dorms, and it stretches from the area behind Margaret Fowler to the Tiernan Field House.

Gabrielle Jungels-Winkler Hall (GJW)
Often called “GJDubs,” this hall is the newest dorm on campus as of Fall 2015. It has two kitchens, an amazing common room, and a courtyard reminiscent of (yet still different from) the ones of the old dorms. Unlike all the other dorms, however, there are no water fountains, so if you live here you should definitely look into getting a water filter. This dorm has singles, doubles, conjoined doubles, triples, and 5-person suites, which feature single rooms around a bathroom and common area. This dorm is also a landmark in its accessibility for students, as it has automatic entrance doors and an elevator.
Routt & Senior Routt Mary Routt Hall (MRR)
Routt Hall is to the right when you enter through the door ro the Frankel-Routt dorms (collectively known as “Froutt”) nearest to the SCORE office, and it is easy to confuse with Frankel since they are pretty much identical in layout. They share the entrance lobby only, but the computer lab in Frankel serves as the lab for both halls. Routt has three floors containing 7-person suites (these have 7 individual rooms plus a common area and bathroom), triples (with the conjoined bathrooms), doubles, and a few singles. There is air conditioning. There are many balconies, and from many rooms, you can hear the bubbling of nearby fountains. Senior Routt is the building containing apartments on the same side of the walkway that leads to Routt as the SARLO and SCORE offices. Each of these apartments contains two doubles, a sizeable kitchen, and common spaces. While they are called “senior” apartments, you do not have to be a senior to live in them; however, priority for these spaces is given to those who need the kitchens as an alternative to dining halls. This building is considered to be part of Routt.
