We have 10 residence halls and the student apartment village. Several of the residence halls offer housing for students with specialized interests such as community service, fine arts, or foreign languages. All of our residences are comfortable living areas that provide ample opportunity for students to bond with each other and the residence life staff.
Carvin, called the Global Village, is one of the “Hill Houses,” and is home to international and American students interested in sharing and learning global perspectives.
The Francophone House is a living-learning option open to students who are studying French during their academic career at Hollins. It is a wonderful and inclusive space for those who love the French language, French-speaking cultures (from the Americas, Africa, Europe…), and/or are preparing for study abroad.
Located on historic Front Quad, Main houses students in single and double rooms. The rocking chairs on the front porch have made this one of the most popular places on campus to study and relax. The back porch provides a gorgeous view of the mountains and the Back Quad.

West is also the home of Fandom Hall. Fandom is devoted to building a community of students who wish to express their love, or “fanship,” from any fandom (television, books, music, etc.).
