Our Dorms
Home Sweet Home
Each dorm is slightly different from the next in terms of personality, accommodations, room size, style, and many more ways you will learn about below!
Thirteen Dorms, One Community
Batten House
Batten House is settled in a partially wooded area on the edge of campus, next door to Brecon Hall. Since 1999, Batten has been housed by upperclass students interested in an environmentally focused co-operative living environment.
Brecon
One of Bryn Mawr's smallest residences, most of Brecon's rooms are spacious with large windows, high ceilings, and hardwood floors.
Denbigh
Denbigh is conveniently located on central campus, near most administrative, academic, and residential buildings. It also houses one of the two College dance studios.
Enid Cook '31 Center
Operating as both a dorm and cultural center, the ECC is a vibrant hub of activity supporting and celebrating the Black and Latinx BMC student community.
Erdman Hall
Designed by architect Louis Kahn, Erdman is composed of three connecting units (or "diamonds"), it houses the College's largest dining hall, and several meeting spaces. The majority of Erdman bedroom spaces are singles.
Merion Hall
Merion Hall is Bryn Mawr College's oldest dorm and many of its rooms still contain the fireplaces and window seats used by the College's first students, while its stairwells are decorated with the original stained glass windows.
New Dorm
New Dorm houses 101 single rooms for upperclass and first-year students, and it is also the site of one of the two dining halls on campus.
Pembroke East
Pembroke Hall consists of East and West wings. Many rooms in both wings still contain the original fireplaces and window seats. Pembroke Arch, which connects the East and West wings, is a popular campus landmark and houses the College's dance studio.
Pembroke West
Pembroke Hall consists of East and West wings. Many rooms in both wings still contain the original fireplaces and window seats. Fun fact: Katharine Hepburn lived in Pembroke West when she was a Bryn Mawr undergraduate student.
Radnor Hall
Bryn Mawr's smallest "traditional" residence, Radnor is conveniently located next door to the Campus Center, Uncommon Grounds Cafe, and Bookshop.
Rhoads North
Rhoads Hall consists of the North and South wings and was named after James Rhoads, Bryn Mawr College's first president. Rhoads North and South have been completely refurbished, including new bedroom spaces and updated life-safety features.
Rhoads South
Rhoads Hall consists of the North and South wings and was named after James Rhoads, Bryn Mawr College's first president. Rhoads North and South have been completely refurbished, including new bedroom spaces and updated life-safety features. Fun fact: The South wing has an outdoor patio overlooking Rhoads Beach (the rolling, grassy area on top of which Rhoads sits).
Rockefeller Hall
Rockefeller Hall, affectionately known as "Rock," is Bryn Mawr's largest residence and is most easily identified by its castle-like towers and arch. Many Rockefeller rooms contain the original fireplaces and window seats. One of Rock's most popular and unique features is the leaded glass in the doors of its bedroom spaces.
Did You Know?
Bryn Mawr's dorms have a common living room, and most dorms have additional lounges with couches and often books and games. All of the dorms have coin-operated vending machines for both beverages and snacks. Dorms will have one laundry room with several washers and dryers or a single washer and dryer in individual halls.
