Living at Hampshire
Hampshire is a residential learning community, with a seamless flow of academic, social, and personal life. Students live in five residences on campus, each of which has common areas, along with area coordinators to help with programs and events.
Merrill House
Merrill House is one of Hampshire College's two traditional-style residence halls (Dakin is the other) and houses approximately 250 students in single and double rooms. The majority of hallways are coed, with some designated single sex.
As an entering student, you can request designations related to noise, gender, or themes (for example, a quiet hall).
A common lounge serves as a gathering place for residents of each hallway. All lounges are equipped with a fridge, colorful furniture, a flat screen television, and a striped chalkboard wall.
The Merrill-Dakin quadrangle is a popular outdoor meeting place surrounded by the residence halls as well as the dining commons. Hall activities vary according to student interests, but are likely to include movie and open-mic nights, alumni conversations, or arts and crafts nights.
