Isn’t it a dorm?
At the University of Lynchburg, we have “residence halls” instead of “dorms.” Why? Because where you live is a lot more than a place to sleep at night. It’s also where you study, relax, and socialize. In the residence halls, we also offer special programs that help you grow as a person while you grow as a scholar.
