Residence Halls

Whittier College is a residential community where the vast majority of students live in one of six residence halls that grace the campus.

Some large and some small, each hall has an individual architectural style and interior décor, and each year develops a personality unique to its inhabitants. Residence halls are staffed by full-time Area Directors (ADs) and undergraduate Resident Advisors (RAs), who provide students with continuous support, assistance, and program opportunities for learning and development.

Theme Communities

A few of our residence halls are homes to themed communities. A theme community is an environment where students with similar interests live together in a dedicated area of a residence hall and participate in programs that echo similar academic, social, and personal interests.

General Housing

Each hall contains common lounge areas, with cable television, fireplaces, internet access, and basic cooking facilities. Additionally, each residence hall is conveniently located close to campus resources such as the Counseling Center, Graham Athletics Center, and Wardman Library.

With a mid-century design and central location, Ball Hall is a co-educational hall that houses 90 students.

Built in 1929, Campbell Hall serves as the home for 24 Kaplan International students.

Johnson is the closest hall to Wardman Library, other academic buildings, and is directly attached to Dezember Alumni House. Johnson houses approximately 90 students in triple occupancy rooms.

The most modern residence hall at Whittier, Turner is located atop the upper campus and offers students access to panoramic views of Greater Los Angeles. Turner Hall houses approximately 180 returning students.

Built in 1962, Stauffer Hall originally served as a women's residence hall. Today, Stauffer serves as a co-educational living space for 210 students.
