Housing Details

Patrick Hall

All first-year students live in one of the two first-year quads. Placement for first-year students is based on course selection and registration as a part of the First-Year Residential College Program. Residence hall living, a vital component of the Gettysburg Experience, is intended to facilitate the personal growth and development of each student.

Patrick Hall is a traditional residence hall that houses approximately 150 first-year and upperclass students and consists of four floors and 84 rooms.  Each room in Patrick Hall has tiled floors and typically houses two students, with male and female bathrooms on each floor.  All bathrooms in Patrick Hall accommodate more than one person at a time and are single gender (male or female).

Each room in Patrick Hall has a MicroFridge, at least one window and shade, a bookshelf, and mirror. Each student is provided with an extra-long bed (39 inches x 80 inches x 6 1/2 inches), a desk and chair; a dresser and closet space.  The beds have two lower height settings: the lowest setting has approximately 12 inches between the floor and the bottom of the bed; the other setting provides approximately 18 inches between the floor and the bottom of the bed. Students may also loft or bunk their beds by acquiring the additional pieces necessary to do so.   These pieces will be available in your building lobby during the first several weeks of the fall semester, including first-year move-in day.

For those interested in bringing a rug for your room, a good size approximation is 9' x 12'. Learn more about personalizing your room, including what you may or may not bring to campus.
