Thompson Hall
Thompson Hall, built in 1950, is a classic traditional hall located in the core of campus, close to almost everything - Rec Hall, the Nittany Lion Shrine, Pattee, and Old Main. Thompson is co-ed and offers regular double and single rooms. Male and female students are assigned sections of the floor, with a designated bathroom on the floor for male and female residents.
