Fiercely loyal residents who revel in their annual toga party

When you stroll into the front doors of Hinderlie Hall, get ready to be greeted by a group of students just sitting around chatting about the day, their favorite television shows (Lost and Greys Anatomy are favorites) and ready to welcome anyone who walks in into the conversation.

"There's really an energetic, family feel to this hall," said Kari Van Nostran, a senior and resident advisor in the hall.

Van Nostran, also noted that so many students leave their doors open for anyone to drop in and chat, that it may take awhile to get back to your own room.

Hinderlie Hall is a place for those that have a love for art.  You don't have to be an artist yourself to belong to the artistic community that is Hinderlie, just an appreciation for art and an easy going lifestyle.  Hinderlie will be working to develop relationships with faculty from every discipline in order to develop a learning community celebrating creativity and expression in diverse forms in the next year.  Students will be able to have a typical residence hall experience with the added value of relationships with faculty and a shared community appreciation for the world of art. 

Located close to Mary Baker Russell Music Center and Ingram Hall and central to the entire campus, it is convenient to everything regardless of your major!  Hinderlie offers an artistic living-learning environment, a great location, and a welcoming community.  For more information click here.

Residents of Hinderlie are fiercely loyal to their hall and revel in the hall's annual toga party, which includes music, games and creative ways of twisting bed sheets to create acceptable body coverings. 

The hall is four stories tall, with resident rooms on each floor including the south side of the basement, which is open to the hillside. Approximately 130 residents reside in Hinderlie.
