The descriptions below are for reference. Most rooms are 9' by 13', or 3 x 4 meters. The majority of the rooms are Regular Singles (S2). Please refer to the Room Rates page. All rooms have a built-in closet or freestanding wardrobe.
Double Rooms have two of the following: desks, desk chairs, and regular twin beds which are bunked in Regular Double Rooms. Each room also has a single large dresser, nightstand, bookcase, and additional storage space drawers. There are a limited number of Large and Premium Double Rooms which feature all the same furnishings but are larger with enough floor space that the beds do not have to be bunked.
All our residential floors comprise undergraduates, graduate students, and postgraduate scholars from different countries and a variety of academic disciplines. Our residential communities include shared bathrooms, small lounges, and other resource spaces such as small study lounges and our resident computer lab.
Each floor develops its own unique community dynamic that varies somewhat from year to year. Below are basic descriptions and specific features of each residential floor.
Floor Description |
Floorplan |
|
The 3rd floor is coed and one of the larger floors with 141 residents. Our computer lab is also located here. The larger population on the 3rd floor makes for a more social environment. |
|
|
The 4th floor is also coed and our most populated residential floor with 160 residents. It features two small lounges. Like the 3rd floor, the larger population makes for a very dynamic and social environment. |
|
|
The 5th, 6th, and 7th floors are also coed but have fewer residents, around 80 on each floor. Each has a small lounge. These upper floors tend to offer a slightly quieter environment and more close-knit community due to the smaller size. The 6th floor is also home to our Historic Wing. Single Rooms in this area feature beautifully restored, antique furnishings from the early days of International House. |

The 8th floor is home to our Women’s Hall. Many female residents prefer to reside in a single-sex community for personal, cultural, and religious reasons. The 8th floor provides such a space to around 40 residents. The 8th floor also features a small lounge space. |
