About Cance Hall

[Southwest Residential Area] First-year hall in the Southwest — the largest and most social residential area at UMass with over 5,500 students. Southwest is known as the "concrete jungle" due to its modern 1960s-70s architecture. Close to Hampshire and Berkshire dining halls and a vibrant social scene. Cance is typical of the Southwest first-year experience: energetic, diverse, and social.
