Residence Halls

Our four residence halls, each with a distinct personality, offer single, double and triple rooms, as well as suites. You’ll be on a hall with other students who will quickly become your extended family.

Each student will have a standard twin bed, a desk with chair, a dresser and a closet or wardrobe. Each room is equipped with a phone jack with a campus extension already assigned, which will be given during move-in day. The halls are wireless so your laptop or PC is good to go from most locations in the hall. Rooms are tiled in Fontbonne, and Fournier Halls. Fitzsimmons Hall and SugarLoaf Lodge have carpeted floors.

Roommates share: Cable television port, phone port with campus extension/voicemail and wireless Internet access

Fontbonne Hall

Fontbonne Hall was built in 1961. It was named after Mother Saint John Fontbonne, who restored the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Joseph in Lyon, France in 1808, after their dispersal during the French Revolution.

Fontbonne Hall is a co-educational residence hall for first year students. Rooms are mostly double occupancy with common hall bathrooms on each floor. A few single rooms are available.

Fournier Hall

Fournier Hall is named in honor of Mother Saint John Fournier, the foundress of the Philadelphia Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Joseph in 1847. It was originally the Mount Saint Joseph College, founded in 1928, then became Chestnut Hill College in 1938.

Fournier Hall is a co-educational first year and upperclass building. New Transfer students are also housed here. There are many room options, including single rooms, double rooms and triples, as well as suited rooms (bedrooms connected by a bathroom).
