Alumni and Carlin Halls

Alumni Hall was built in 1905 and named for the Alumni as “a lasting monument of their loyalty.” Originally, the five-story building had 92 student rooms on the upper floors, plus large classrooms for philosophy, physics, history and English on the lower floors, which also held an instrument room, reference library, and laboratories for physics and physiological psychology. Since then, Alumni has been renovated to accommodate its current capacity of 188 upperclass students. There are six Residence Life staff members who live and work in the building; five Resident Assistants (RAs) and a Student Resident Director (SRD). The Associate Director of Residence Life also lives in Alumni.

Carlin was built in 1922 and named after Rev. James J. Carlin, S.J., President of the College from 1918–1924. Carlin houses 169 upper-class students. There are five Residence Life staff members who live and work in the building; four Resident Assistants (RAs) and a Student Resident Director (SRD).

Located on either side of Kimball Dining Hall, Alumni and Carlin consist of full suites and modified suites. A full suite consists of bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom and can house 4 to 6 students. A modified suite consists of bedrooms and a living room and can house 2 to 4 students. In each residence hall there is a common lounge, a study lounge, and laundry facilities. Carlin also houses the NROTC offices and facilities. Alumni and Carlin have an annual tradition of co-hosting a Quad BBQ. RAs and House Councils of Alumni and Carlin also host community service events such as blood drives and relief events.

A standard room contains one desk, desk chair, desk lamp, dresser, bookcase, and bed per occupant. Most bed rooms are 12’ x 18’ with carpeted floors. Every room has a window and fire-retardant drapes. Each bed is a twin and uses extra long sheets (“college size” sheets are recommended). As overhead lighting is not provided, students are encouraged to bring an extra, non-halogen, lamp. Most living rooms contain a couch, a love seat or two lounge chairs, a coffee table and end tables.
