Gillette Hall is the largest residence hall on campus. It is centrally located, near the main academic buildings and next to the Campus Center. It is also only a short walk from Wesley Chapel. The room types in Gillette are the most diverse of all the halls, with singles, doubles, triples and quads. Most students also have a shared sink room. There are lounges on every floor for studying or socializing. When entering Gillette through the main entrance, one walks into a large and comfortable parlor that has been a social hub for generations of Houghton students.
