About Thoreau Hall

[Southwest Residential Area] Multi-year Southwest hall named for Henry David Thoreau, known for its large Z-room configurations (oversized doubles or triples). Close to the Hampden Center and offers adequate laundry facilities. Typical Southwest atmosphere with a party-oriented culture and regular noise. Bathroom cleanliness has been a common student concern.
