Orchard Hill Area

Overlooking campus, amid rolling hills and apple orchards, is the Orchard Hill Residential Area. The area consists of four residence halls surrounding a central grassy area known as "The Bowl."

Each residence hall has seven floors with two corridors on each floor branching off from the lobby/elevator area in the center of the floor. All Orchard Hill halls are coed; however, an all-female corridor is available.

Living and Learning Communities

The Orchard Hill Residential Area offers a General Education First-Year Program to entering residents that consists of a special program of writing, language, and social science subjects. All Orchard Hill courses meet in the residence halls.
