Linden houses approximately 180 upper division students in two- and three-person suites, each with a shared bathroom. Linden boasts a gaming room, movable furniture, outdoor gathering spaces and spectacular lake views.
How Suite It Is
When Linden Hall was about to be remodeled, we asked students what they wanted and they set clear priorities. They wanted more privacy, better temperature control within rooms, air-conditioning, more technology and lots of electrical outlets. Linden delivers all that, plus a few surprising luxuries.
Relax in your own personal space with friends close by. Each 2 or 3-person unit has its own bath to share and features private bedrooms. Suites are fully furnished in modern, modular style, complete with beds, closets, dresser, desk and desk chair. Take a virtual tour or check out a suite diagram. It’s a suite place to call home.
