Open to sophomores, juniors, seniors, and a select number of first-year men, Providence College’s most historic and architecturally beautiful residence hall anchors the West Campus quad. Aquinas Hall is named for St. Thomas Aquinas, the great Dominican theologian who you’ll get to know in Development of Western Civilization. Coed by wing, Aquinas offers double and triple rooms along with an enormous and stunning 24-hour hall lounge that serves as a hub of activity and location for many events. Raymond Dining Hall is a short walk from the building’s back door, St. Dominic Chapel is steps away, and Aquinas Hall has one of the best front lawns on campus. The Center for Catholic and Dominican Studies, located in the building’s former chapel, is a comfortable and stately study space — and one of campus’ best kept secrets.
