[Louisville Hall]

Louisville Hall

The university features nine residence halls on the Belknap Campus. Miller Hall, Threlkeld Hall, Unitas Tower, Center Hall and the Wellness House have traditional double-occupancy rooms. Think it will be too loud to study in your dorm room? Several of the residence halls have floors that feature a 24-hour quiet policy. Single-occupancy Stevenson Hall has two floors that are set aside as quiet floors. Louisville Hall, pictured here, offers students suite-style rooms. Louisville Hall has received awards for its outstanding design. Students from around the world live in the International House. This setting provides an opportunity for people from different countries to learn about various cultures. University Tower Apartments offer living space for students over 21.
