The residence halls are divided into "Houses" that are typically comprised of 15-25 rooms. Members of each House study, eat, attend events, play games, or just hang out together. Each House has a Resident Assistant (RA) that will help lead your House by working with hall officers, planning activities and providing a assistance when you need it.
