Founders Hall

Upper-Level Housing

Situated along Ruggles Avenue near several other campus residences, Founders Hall houses upper-level students. Although it’s the largest all-female hall on campus, Founders is a close-knit community where residents form tight bonds and make lasting friendships.

Students are housed in a mix of singles, doubles, triples and quads. The generously-sized bedrooms feature classic period details, and most have built-in closets.

While the exterior features a massive wraparound porch and sprawling yard, the interior of Founders Hall is quirky and charming. The spacious, comfortable common room is primarily used for hanging out and doing homework, and a kitchen is available for student use.

Fun fact:

A Colonial Revival home completed in 1890, Founders Hall was built for prominent Philadelphia lawyer John Thompson Spencer.

What is your favorite activity that you have organized?

My favorite program has been my pamper night. I invited my residents to the living room and we did face masks, painted our nails and snacked on fruits and veggies. I wanted to incorporate self-care into our living environment.
