Residence Halls vs. Dorms

At PLU, we don’t call our living facilities “dorms.” Dorms are a place to stash your gear, study and sleep. Residence halls are much more. PLU provides quality on-campus living and learning environments that encourage and enhance participation and enjoyment of your college experience. Students are not only supported in class, but also where they make a home.

Select one of the halls below to learn more:

                     Foss        Harstad          Hong         Hinderlie           Kreidler  

                     Ordal         Pflueger           South           Stuen            Tingelstad

All of the Residence Halls are very well equipped, but of course you will want to bring items that make your room a bit more homey.  We have compiled a list of suggested items.  Please remember that these are suggestions only.  Residence Hall rooms vary in size as well.  Check out our room floor plans to make your planning easier.  We also encourage you to contact your roommate as soon as you learn of your roommate assignment to see what items you might want to share, in order to avoid doubling large items.  Click Here to view the list.
