Berry Hall

Suite | Double or Triple Rooms | MicroFridge

Open to first-year students

Berry Residence Hall is conveniently located above one of our all-you-care-to-eat dining halls, City Bistro. It’s a six-story, co-ed building at the corner of Calhoun and St. Philip streets. 

Each suite consists of:

  • two to three bedrooms
  • one to two bathrooms
  • living room with MicroFridge

Suites are shared by four to seven students.

Parts of Berry Hall will be under construction during the academic year. The lobby and first floor are being updated for the Honors Program; there will be exterior work that could involve scaffolding that will move around the building as each section is completed; and there will be roof work (any loud work will happen after 9 a.m.) Students will access Berry from the Lightsey Center side for most of the year. Two elevators will remain available for the building. All efforts will be made to minimize disruption to our students living in Berry Hall.
