Shamie Hall

The largest residence hall on campus, Shamie Hall houses more than 330 students. A full fitness room is on the first floor. Common Lounge areas, study rooms, and laundry rooms are located on each of the three floors. Shamie Hall primarily houses first-year students in triple rooms with private bathrooms in each room.

Right outside of Shamie Hall is a wiffle ball field, half basketball court, and a patio for students to enjoy. Relax and socialize in the 2nd floor Common Lounge, where there’s a pool table, as well as two big screen TVs for students to watch their favorite game or movie! Shamie Hall is air conditioned with elevator access for students. You can even keep your workout routine: the fitness room includes treadmills, ellipticals, exercise bikes, TVs for our students to view while they exercise, as well as a specially matted floor for students to warm up, and practice Yoga or Pilates. All Shamie rooms include a bed, mattress, wardrobe/dresser, desk, chair, shade/curtain, and a shower curtain.
