Florham Residence Halls

For most students, living on campus is one of the most memorable and fulfilling parts of their college experience. For many, it marks the first time they’ve lived on their own, away from family and friends. At the Florham Campus, three of every four undergraduate students choose to live in the University’s residence halls.

The two Twombly Halls Florence Twombly and Hamilton Twombly, are traditional-style residence halls, coed by floor, with double rooms and common bathroom facilities. The climate is controlled by our Facilities department. Students give high grades to the extra-spacious rooms in the Twomblies. 

The Village features nine suite-style buildings; each of which has six to seven person suites that offer a shared suite bathroom and double bedrooms. Coed by suite, The Village is fully air-conditioned. In Stirling Hall, York Hall, Ellsworth Hall, Barclay Hall, Penn Hall and Rice Hall, the suites each also have a shared suite common living room.

Park Avenue has four-person suites, each with its own living room and kitchen and is independently climate-controlled. Park Avenue is reserved for juniors, seniors, and graduate students.

Rutherford Hall  offers independently climate-controlled double rooms, each with a private bathroom.

Each residence hall offers unique amenities.  Some have a fitness center, a game room, study lounges, and more.  But each residence hall offers:

• In-building laundry facilities, always free of charge
• Daily complimentary housekeeping services in the common
• Wireless and Ethernet links to the campus network
• Free in-room cable
• In hall programs, events and community builders
• All buildings have air conditioning
• All buildings are smoke free
• All residence halls have card-access front doors and room doors
• All residence halls have security cameras inside the building and out

Near the residence halls, you’ll find a variety of outdoor courts and playing fields. They include a volleyball pit as well as lighted basketball courts and softball field for evening play.

All residence halls contain smoke-free rooms. Resident students are permitted to have cars on campus. Free parking is available in lots near the residence halls. Incoming Florham Campus freshmen students, residing on campus, will have the ability to apply for a parking permit. Approved freshmen students will be allowed to park in a designated area in residence parking lot #3, located in the rear of Park Avenue residence hall.

Each residence hall floor has a resident assistant (RA) who serves as an on-site counselor and resource for students. Your RA will plan activities to encourage you to meet and get to know other resident students. Examples might include white-water rafting, hiking excursions, skiing in the Poconos, shopping at area malls and discount outlets, a skirmish weekend (paint-ball) or a semi-formal dance.

Overnight guests are permitted on campus, but they must be registered for each night’s stay. The residence halls have card-access doors, security cameras and campus security regularly inspects campus grounds and facilities.
