photo of College Hall

College Hall is a residence hall within the Parker complex. The Parker complex is composed of the traditional corridor style hallways with a single sex bathroom shared by all residents of the floor or house which is maintained by the Custodial Staff. Students who live in the corridor style buildings enjoy a lot of activity and interaction with the members of their house. Students may personalize their environment by painting the corridors with a house theme mural. Lounges can be found in the basement level.

College Hall is the oldest residence hall on campus and its unique construction and traditions house a diverse student population. Located in the basement of College Hall are a study lounge with ten computers. Located on the first and second floors are small laundry rooms equipped with washers and dryers, and recycling areas. Vending machines and a microwave oven are also located on the first floor. College Hall offers a very close community and proximity to the academic buildings. The small, diverse population of the hall offers opportunity for growth and experiences through in-hall programming and development. College Hall is five minutes away from Main Street New Paltz and is the closest hall to the village.
