Slade Hall is home to nearly 300 freshmen each year. It features a social lounge on the first floor, a TV lounge, racquetball courts, Universal gym, laundry room, central air and central vacuum, a kitchen and a function room on the lower level. It is located behind the Trees Complex, a set of seven residence halls for first-year students, and was renovated in 1998.
Slade Hall is a traditional residence, with 131 single, double and triple rooms. On each floor there is a resident assistant (RA). These students go through intense training each summer with staff from the Office of Residence Life, learning how to plan special programs and events, as well as help students with roommate matters. As compensation for their commitment, they receive free room and board.
Bentley is a campus for the 21st century. You can surf the Internet and e-mail friends from the comfort of your room, thanks to port-per-pillow wiring in all Bentley residence halls, and can even plug in at the library and the Lower Cafeteria.
