Housing Details
Smyser Hall
Smyser Hall, one of four suite-style residence halls for upperclass students, is located on the east side of campus, just a short walk to most academic buildings.
Acquired by the College in 2003, Smyser Hall houses 38 students with two students in each suite. Each suite has its own bathroom and dedicated heating and air conditioning.
Formerly a motel, there are 19 rooms in Smyser Hall with one Residence Life student staff member (Community Advisor) living in one of the rooms.
Each room in Smyser Hall has a private bathroom, dedicated heating and air conditioning and tiled floors. Each room also has one window with a blind, a bookshelf, and mirror (located in the bathroom). Each student is provided with an extra-long (38 inches x 80 inches x 6 1/2 inches) bed; a desk and chair; a dresser and closet space. Students may contact Facilities Services at 717-337-6700 to request the additional pieces necessary to bunk or loft their bed. There is a limited supply of the pieces necessary for lofting beds; therefore, students are provided the pieces on a first-come, first-served basis. There is approximately 15 inches between the floor and the bottom of the bed. To gain additional storage space below the bed, students may use bed risers, which are available for purchase at the College Bookstore.
