Room and Suite Measurements

Our Student Residence Halls Offer a Dynamic Living and Learning Environment.

First-year students live in suite/floor arrangements with 18-30 of their peers and a resident assistant (RA)—an upper class student trained to provide living and learning support. Suites may be all-gender or single-gender, depending on the preferences of first-year students, and men and women are not paired together as roommates in the same room.

Knox encourages students to take advantage of the kitchen facilities, whether cooking for themselves or a group of hungry friends.
