Home Away From Home
Each of Williston’s 10 single-gender dorms has its own feeling, from the Victorian-goes-green vibe of 194 Main Street to the casual charm of Memorial Hall to the easy comforts of John Wright. Each is watched over by on-site dorm parents as part of a residential program designed to help students adjust to dorm life and develop good study habits. Living with roommates, students learn the art of social give-and-take, important preparation for heading off to college in a few years.
A SAMPLING OF WILLISTON DORMS
“ I love the way the girls all live together so joyfully.” —NANCY KANG, JUNIOR
Memorial Hall, divided into Mem East and Mem West, houses 32 girls (and three faculty families) in each wing. Located on the Quad, its front yard is a popular hangout spot on spring evenings.
John Wright House, with its spacious common room and popular pool table, is home to ninth-grade boys. Set beside the chapel, it’s just a short walk to campus.
194 Main Street, our newest dorm, houses ninth-grade girls in a restored 1880 Victorian connected to two modern buildings featuring geothermal heating and cooling and built to LEED standards.
Ford Hall, our largest boys’ dorm, houses 52 students (and six faculty families) in a historic building on the Quad, making it super convenient to the library, Campus Center, and Birch Dining Commons.
