Housing
Welcome to Thompson Hall
Thompson Hall houses approximately 1,000 students and is home to Thompson Dining Center. The Thompson Hall lobby was renovated in 2013. Thompson is available to freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The hall also gives freshmen the opportunity to live on First Year Experience (FYE) floors where freshmen students will live and transition into college life with other first-year students. Amenities include a 24-hour computer lab, a convenience store, electronic classroom, three conference rooms, and a 24-hour lounge space with flat-screen TVs and a foosball table.
