With tree-filled courtyards, Clark Hall provides an ideal outdoor backdrop for activities and relaxation. Students often socialize on the interconnecting balconies and stairways or retreat to the large, grassy center of the complex known as Clark Beach. The central lounge features a large sun deck where students can enjoy the beautiful surroundings as well as a stone fireplace for cozy conversations. About half of Westmont’s first-year students reside in Clark Halls, alongside a limited number of transfer and returning students.
