Residence Halls

Community Living On Campus

Saint Vincent College offers a range of residence hall options to match your preferences and needs. Freshmen start their journey in St. Benedict Hall, designed to help first-year students build a strong sense of community and make lasting friendships. Sophomores and upperclassmen can choose from traditional residence halls, suite-style living, and apartment-style accommodations. Each option provides a vibrant and supportive environment, complete with study lounges, common areas, and laundry facilities. Living on campus allows you to fully immerse yourself in college life, creating unforgettable experiences and lifelong connections.
