Housing Options in Merrill College

Residence Halls
Merrill College has four residential buildings set amidst the redwoods. These buildings are divided into smaller sections called houses. The houses are Lorde-Studds, Kochiyama, Bulosan, Gandhi, Kahlo, Chávez-Menchú, and DuBois. Each house's name honors contributions made by an individual to their community. The five largest houses (Lorde-Studds, Kochiyama, Bulosan, Gandhi, and Kahlo) house approximately 70 students each. Most frosh and the majority of second year students live in double rooms in these houses. DuBois and Chávez-Menchú are smaller houses with 33 and 44 residents respectively.
In all the houses, students are clustered in small living areas of eleven to fourteen residents. These residents share a common bathroom and a comfortable lounge. The lounges serve as informal settings for watching videos, study groups, hall meetings, workshops, and study breaks.
