Overall Introduction of Halls:
There are 12 residence halls total in this campus, while our Sanda Students mainly live in Gee, Olson, and Hill Halls. All of us will be assigned into Switlik and Lincoln during the summer sessions. Both of these two halls will be equipped with an air-conditioner.
In each residence hall, there are one or more lounges. These are used as study or cooking areas. There is a laundry room for washing clothes and a residence hall, where students can ask student staff, RA &RD, for help.
Moreover, you should pay attention to some emergency situations and be familiar with several main rules. Keep in mind important information to help you tackle these situations, such as where , the fire alarm is located.
