Left Hand Dorms
The SKC Lefthand Dorms are designed for single students who are looking to live close to campus in a safe, social community. They consist of 11 suite-style rooms, called Pods. Three or four students live in a Pod; each student shares a bathroom with one other roommate and some units have their own private bedroom.
Pods also contain a living room with cable TV and internet and a full kitchen with stove, fridge, and microwave to share with roommates. Bathrooms are semi-private and shared between two roommates. In three-person Pods, one roommate has a private bath for additional cost.
Pods are fully furnished. Dorm rooms include an XL twin bed, wardrobe, desk and chair, and three-drawer dresser.
The Dorm facilities also include a common area lounge where students can socialize or study, a laundry room, and live-in Resident Advisors (RAs). Entrances are secure and only accessible by Dorm residents and Housing or Security staff.
