Hemingway Hall
Named for famous short-story writer, journalist and novelist Ernest Hemingway, Hemingway Hall opened in 1970. It is a mixed class, co-ed, four bedroom suite-style residence hall. It features an Aerobic Center in the basement along with the laundry facility, as well as a kitchen area in the main lobby. Hemingway Hall is located in the Andrews Complex and convenient to Erie Dining Hall.
These four communities for first-year students (Freshmen) offer opportunities to share common interests with other students and faculty advisors. Students from any major live together in designated suites of Hemingway Hall, with a common space for each living learning community. Although each community includes men and women, suites are single-gender. In addition to regular residence hall programming, students who choose these living learning communities have special programs, activities, and occasional meals together. These programs have their own faculty advisors in addition to residence hall staff which provide an extra support system during the transition to college life.

Cross-Cultural House is for international and non-international students who are especially interested in learning about and understanding cultural diversity. We now have the capacity to communicate directly with people from diverse backgrounds, both within the United States and around the world. But understanding others’ perspectives, values, and needs remains a challenge. This community offers opportunities for special programming on this topic, discussions and films, field trips, special sessions with visiting speakers, and service projects that engage participants from different backgrounds. Students of all backgrounds and majors are welcome! Participating faculty and staff include members of the Cross-Cultural Renga; a faculty-staff learning community that explores issues of diversity and identity in our community.
