The first floor houses the main shared spaces including the laundry room, customer service desk, mailroom, hall director office, and game lounge. A central living room with a kitchenette can be found on each floor offering plenty of room for meetings, social gatherings, studying, or relaxing. A second, mid-sized lounge provides a more social and cozy space for residents to meet.  
 
Vandiver Hall is conveniently located next to the University Center and near Kent Library, Capaha Park, and local restaurants. Take a virtual tour to get a full picture of what life at Vandiver Hall has to offer.

These funds assist the Office of Residence Life in expanding keycard access to exterior doors of residence halls, installing cameras at residence hall entrances, and maintaining that equipment. $2.70 funds the programming provided by the Resident Assistants (RAs) in each of our residence halls. This money supports community development and educational programming provided throughout the residence halls during the year. 

Technology Fee

The technology fee is used to support the technology needs of each of the residence halls. This money supports the wireless and LAN networks in the student rooms, lounges, and throughout the residence halls.
