Dorm life in Eagle Hall gives students plenty of ways to connect, relax, and feel at home. The Activity Center (AC) also hosts RA events like speed-friending, Esports tournaments, karaoke, and painting, while our comfortable lounges offer a space to hang out with friends or study. All our RA-planned events are designed by students, for students, so activities vary each semester to match resident interests and keep the community vibrant.

For study spaces and academic support, Eagle Hall offers several lounges and a dedicated computer lab, with free printing, exclusively for residents. These spaces allow students to study independently or collaborate with friends, and 10pm – 9am quiet hours help to maintain a focused, productive environment. These on-site resources, along with being right across the street from the main tutoring lab, make it easy to balance academics and social life, creating a supportive, convenient space for learning and success.
