Low Rise #7
Low Rise 6 and Low Rise 7 are arranged with several of the Program Houses in a neighborhood on North Campus, all connected by brick pathways. These pleasant, quiet, brick and glass buildings provide homes that are both modern and cozy. Each of the Low Rise units have a main lounge, study room and kitchen. Residents often gather in the lounges to enjoy popcorn and hot chocolate, watch films with the faculty member in residence, or just hang out and talk about what's important in life.
"My favorite part of living in Low Rise 7 is the people I've met. I am so happy with the community I ended up in." — Ava F.
