Anderson Hall
Anderson Hall is known as “that big round building on campus” with rooms uniquely shaped like pieces of a pie. Because the hallways never end (they’re circles!), Anderson attracts students who love to stop by their neighbors’ rooms just to say hi, and the residence hall has a busy social calendar.
Anderson Hall
Anderson Hall’s round shape makes it one of the most distinct buildings on North Park’s campus.
Lobby
Anderson Hall’s circular theme can be seen in the round seating for the lobby as well!
Study Room
A quiet study room on the first floor includes large tables, computers, and a printer.
Shared Kitchen
A community kitchen is available on the first floor for all residents’ use. This floor also has vending machines and a dispenser for ice and water.
A smaller kitchenette can be found between the computer lab and the TV lounge simple prep work or to warm up something in the microwave.
Furnished Rooms
All rooms come furnished with beds, mattresses, desks, chairs, dressers, and closets. Stackable furniture allows you to maximize your space for comfort and add your own style.
