About Cary Quadrangle

Cary Quadrangle is Purdue's most iconic and architecturally distinctive residence hall — a massive Gothic-style complex surrounding a central courtyard that feels more like an Oxbridge college than a typical American dorm. Houses approximately 2,000 students in traditional corridor doubles with communal bathrooms. Cary is known for its incredible architecture, strong sense of community, and long-standing traditions. One of the most visually striking dorms in the Big Ten.
