Housing & Dining
There are five residence halls on campus. North (Female) and South (Male) Towers house the fraternities and sororities as well as Honors and several sports teams. Each floor has two lounges. There is one co-ed hall, Sarvay, which is also the oldest building on campus still standing. Sarvay is traditionally a female dorm but due to lack of housing, males live on the first floor. The other two halls are Wilson for females and Woodell, nicknamed "The Woo," for males. Housing is not divided by year. Several floors are set aside as "Substance free," and the rest allow alcohol if both residents are over 21. As of Fall Semester 2018, the only residence halls open were North Tower, South Tower and Wilson Hall, due to lack of enrollment. Wilson Hall now acts as a co-ed hall, with males living on the first two floors, and females on the upper three floors. The North and South Towers complex got a major renovation, which was completed in 2017.
