This includes 11 residence halls, split into 4 different locations:

• The "Indian Quad" includes Cayuga, Mohawk, Onondaga, and Oneida halls, and is located in the center of campus.
• The "Pond Quad" includes Helyar, Fountainview, Stewart, South, and West halls, and is located on the east side of campus. It is named for the Helyar Pond, which is overlooked by the dorms.
