Campus Living

With the majority of our students living on campus, you'll develop close-knit relationships and a lifelong brotherhood of support. A home away from home, H-SC not only provides a secure and supportive living environment, but also provides ample open space for you to relax and enjoy life.

Housing

Depending on whether you prefer historic dormitory-style housing or a more independent lifestyle, upperclassmen can choose traditional double-occupancy rooms or select from a number of alternatives, including suite-style apartments and college-owned cottages and houses. More than 95% of students live on campus.

Dining

Pannill Commons offers a variety of cuisines and features amenities such as a fire brick oven, build-your-own salads and sandwiches, a fresh orange juice squeezer, and an open hibachi grill. If you prefer a "grill-style" dining experience, the Tiger Inn in the Brown Student Center offers a relaxed atmosphere including leather couches, flat-screen televisions, and pool and ping pong tables.
