​
There are eight residence halls on campus—six on the upper half, surrounding the Quad and the Front Lawn, and two on the Back Campus waterfront. Many of the residence halls on the upper part of campus are on the upper floors of buildings, with the lower floors used as faculty and staff offices, and even—in the case of Fielding-Rumore—the dining hall.

Each residence hall has a different character. Take in the hustle and bustle of college life by living along the quad in Edensword or Fielding-Rumore Hall. Feel like you’ve stepped back in time in one of our more historic residence halls: Humphreys Hall, built in 1837; Chase-Stone House and Paca-Carroll House, both built in 1857; and Pinkney Hall, built in 1858. Once you’ve earned your Johnnie stripes, enjoy all the comforts of home in our two newest residence halls, reserved for juniors and seniors and situated not far from College Creek on a part of campus jokingly referred to as “the suburbs.”

Before you move in, here are a few things you should know: Each residence hall room is furnished with a mattress, mattress cover, desk, chair, study lamp, wastebasket, bookshelf, dresser, mirror, and closet (or, in a double, two of each). The residence halls are air-conditioned and non-smoking. Most residence halls are co-ed, and most freshman residence halls are single sex by floor.

Please note that students who are the age of 25 or older cannot live in an on-campus residence hall. If you start the school year at age 24 and will be turning 25 that year, you may live on campus for the remainder of that year.

Resident Assistants are assigned to each residence hall, including one for each freshman floor.

Fielding-Rumore Hall (1903)
Has two floors housing primarily first-year students in doubles. Both floors have a common room for the Fielding students to meet, read, and relax in. It is located above the Dining Hall and leads directly onto the quad, being one of the most centrally located buildings on campus.

Paca-Carroll House (1857)
Houses primarily freshmen and sophomore co-ed students. Paca-Carroll has a common room equipped with a working fireplace and has two washer/dryer sets (located on the 1st and 2nd floors). This residence hall is the closest to the Greenfield Library and offers a mix of double and single rooms.

Chase-Stone House (1857)
One of the most historic residence halls on campus - Chase-Stone is co-ed and houses upperclassmen students. With a mix of Doubles and Singles, rooms with high ceilings and (non-working) fireplaces often offer views of the croquet pitch on front-campus. This residence hall is equipped with both a laundry room and a full basement common room, colloquially referred to as ‘The Chasement’. This offers a large space to study and relax near a working wood-burning fireplace.

Pinkney Hall (1858)
These four floors are located above the Public Safety Office and house primarily sophomore and upperclassmen students in single rooms. Pinkney is a co-ed hall equipped with a full laundry room and is located directly across from McDowell Hall.

Humphreys Hall (1837)
The oldest residence hall on campus houses first-year students in doubles rooms. The Humphreys basement holds the Mail Room where all students can pick up packages ordered to the college and has a common room for all Humphreys students to use and enjoy.

Edensword Hall (1954)

Edensword Hall houses upperclassmen with a mix of double and single rooms and is equipped with an elevator, laundry room, and common room. The lower level is home to the campus bookstore and the Annapolis Cup Café.

Gilliam Hall (2004)
One of the newest residence halls on campus, Gilliam Hall provides views of College Creek and the intramural fields on back-campus. It houses upperclassmen students in both singles and doubles as well as singles on co-ed floors. There is a large common room on the first floor equipped with a full kitchen, and is also equipped with a full laundry room, and elevator.

Spector Hall (2005)
The newest residence hall on campus houses upperclassmen students in a mix of singles and doubles. Spector Hall has a media room that students can reserve for movie/video game nights with their clubs and friends. Located on back-campus between Gilliam Hall and Mellon Hall, Spector is equipped with a common room, full kitchen, full laundry room, and elevator.

For the first year, freshmen are assigned to campus housing based on responses to a questionnaire sent out after they submit their deposit. After that, room assignments are made by means of a housing lottery. Each April, every student who wishes to live on campus draws a number. The lower the number, the higher you are within each selection group—first rising seniors, then rising juniors, and then rising sophomores.

For the most part, sophomores will have their choice of single rooms, but those with the lowest numbers may spend another year sharing a room—this time in a building and with friends of their choice. For juniors and seniors, usually about half are able to live on campus, often in Gilliam and Spector with their views of College Creek and “split doubles:” two single rooms divided by a wall, which allows the privacy of a single while still giving students a chance to live with friends. Juniors and seniors who live off campus aren’t far away: they rent apartments with roommates on the famed cobblestone streets of downtown Annapolis—just a short walk from campus.
