About Roberts Hall

Roberts Hall is the most spacious of the south-campus PPR cluster, offering larger rooms than Palmer and Pittenger and a layout that gives many rooms a mud room-style entryway and a bathroom shared with only one or two adjacent rooms — an arrangement that functions similarly to semi-private despite the corridor classification. Students who have lived there routinely describe the rooms as beautiful and the dorm culture as one of Swarthmore's warmest. The main trade-off is the distance from the academic core and dining hall, which the college addresses with the shared PPR Apartments courtyard and strong hall programming.

Roberts Hall has no air conditioning. Students here often pick up:
