Residence Halls

CHC’s residence halls, each with a distinct personality, offer single, double and triple rooms, as well as suites.

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. The halls are equipped with Wi-Fi access, so your laptop or PC is good to go from most locations in the hall. Rooms are tiled in Fontbonne and Fournier Halls, while Fitzsimmons Hall has carpeted floors.

Roommates share a cable television port and phone port with campus extension/voicemail.

Two students sit in a Fontbonne dorm room. One is at a wooden desk and the other is in a green chair pulled up next to her. The room is decorated with posters, photos, and personal items.

Fontbonne Hall

Built in 1961, Fontbonne Hall 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

Named in honor of Mother Saint John Fournier, the foundress of the Philadelphia Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Joseph in 1847, Fournier Hall was originally the Mount Saint Joseph College, founded in 1928, which officially became Chestnut Hill College in 1938.

Fournier Hall is a co-educational first year and upperclassman building, with new transfer students also housed here. There are many room options, including singles, doubles, and triples, as well as suited rooms (bedrooms connected by a bathroom).

Fitzsimmons Hall

Opened in the Fall of 2006, Fitzsimmons Hall is suite style, with two bedrooms connected by a common room and bathroom.

The first floor of Fitzsimmons Hall is a 24-hour student center, equipped with a recreation room and TV lounges. Fitzsimmons Hall is a co-educational upperclassman building with four- and six-person suites.
