Housing and Dining FAQ

What are the residence halls like?

Women are housed comfortably in the new, suite-style Terrace Hall in the center of campus, and in Sutton Hall and suite-style Hinely Hall on the north side of campus. Men reside in the new suite-style Boswell Hall in the center of campus. Each residence hall has fulltime “dorm parents” and student assistants. Our residence halls are not co-ed, and are safe and drug/alcohol free.

The new residence halls (Terrace and Boswell) feature laundry rooms, fitness centers, and study lounges.

Are the residence hall rooms connected to the Web?

All students are provided with wireless, high-speed Internet access in their rooms, and high-speed Internet is available at various computer labs located across campus.

Is housing guaranteed?

Yes, all students on campus are guaranteed to get a room in a residence hall. Students should complete the application process as early as possible in order to secure their dorm preference. The housing deposit is $150 and is fully refundable until May 1 for students entering in the fall.

Can I request a specific roommate?

Students can request a specific roommate as long as both students request each other. The Dean of Students tries to accommodate all requests. You will receive your housing and roommate assignment in mid-July.

Are first year students allowed to bring cars?

Yes, all students are free to bring their own cars. But keep in mind that this is a small campus where there is plenty to do and most everything is within walking distance. Also, carpooling is one of the greatest and most noble pastimes known to FC students.

How is the food?

It’s great! Students can enjoy three meals a day in two convenient locations. Henderson Dining Hall has a relaxed, café-style atmosphere that lets students choose from all-you-care-to-eat dining stations that include pizzas, a fresh salad bar, overstuffed deli sandwiches, home-style entrees and sides, and homemade desserts. The Pelican Pouch located in the Student Center is a great place to get favorite grilled sandwiches, fries, sweet and salty snacks, and beverages. Both the Dining Hall and the Pouch have their own coffee bars.
