Dining Options

Haven Hall once had a dining center that had similar food to Ernie Davis. After Ernie Davis was built with a dining hall in fall of 2009, Haven Dining’s already low usage had become even lower. Haven Hall dining was eventually closed because of this. The has been discussion by Student Association and Office of Resident Life about wanting to make Haven’s empty dining space into a community space or to find a creative use for it. As of 2013 there are no plans to renovate this space.

The main dining option for Haven Hall residents is now Ernie Davis dining. Residents are also about five minutes away from Kimmel Dining, which differs from the buffet style of Dining Halls.

Location

Flint Hall is located to the left of the Women’s Building in an area known as Mount Olympus. The nickname comes from its street address mainly (located on Mount Olympus Drive), but it’s also called this because the dormitory is located at the top of a very high hill. One of the biggest critiques of living in this dorm is the steps up and down to go to and from campus. However, once off the steps, the resident is basically on the Syracuse campus. Flint Hall is about five minutes away from the quad (walking down – walking up takes a bit longer). Residents have said that they get used to the steps, but it is definitely a reason why many students chose not to live in Flint Hall or in its neighbor hall, Day Hall.

Floor Plan and Room Set-Up

Flint Hall has two wings, wing A and wing C. The wings are joined together by a main lounge/recreational space, classrooms, and offices. Flint Hall holds 527 residents on four (4) floors – the floors are coed by alternating rooms.[2].
Wing A of the 1st floor has a lounge, four bathrooms, and four staff rooms, as well as a main desk and mail boxes. There are also two rooms for RAs, two singles, and 26 open doubles. Wing C of the 1st floor has a lounge, four bathrooms, one staff room, two rooms for RAs, one single, and 27 open doubles.

Floors two, three, and four have identical floor plans. Wing A has a lounge, four bathrooms, two rooms for RAs, three singles, and 32 open doubles. Wing C has a lounge, four bathrooms, two rooms for RAs, one single, and 33 open doubles. [3].

Besides rooms for RAs, Flint Hall only has singles and open doubles, which is not typically preferable compared to split doubles or suites. This, as well as its location, makes Flint Hall less desirable than other halls.

Dining Options

The closest Dining option for Flint Hall residents is Graham Dining Hall, which is only attached to Flint and Day hall by an underground hallwayResidents also share a Bookstore branch, a computer cluster, and a snack bar located in the underground.

Location

Booth Hall is located next to Dellplain Hall and Ernie Davis Hall. It is up a steep hill and is about a 10 minute walk from the quad.

Boland – Brewster – Brockway Hall

Boland, Brewster, and Brockway Hall are dormitories on the Syracuse University campus. They are located at 401 Van Buren St. They are three separate dormitories, but within the same complex, so they are often associated with one another. The dormitories were built in 1966.[1] The building in this complex holds a total of 788 students on 21 floors. All floors are coed by alternating rooms, but are single gender in each room. The room types include singles, split doubles, open doubles, triples, and four person suites. The BBB Facebook page is located at https://www.facebook.com/BBBatSU. The BBB complex is on both the Quad Shuttle and Connective Corridor bus routes, which can be found at http://centro.org/Syracuse-University-Service.aspx.

Location

Boland, Brewster, and Brockway Hall are three dormitories within minutes of each other. It is often called BBB and is the farthest dormitory complex from the quad – the walk is about 20 minutes. The biggest downside of living in BBB is the distance, especially during the winter season.

Floor Plan and Room Set-Up

Boland Hall has 315 residents, Brewster Hall has 444 residents and Brockway Hall has 27 residents – the least of all of the dormitories. Brockway Hall only has one floor of dorm rooms, but it is essential to the residents of BBB because it contains a Dining Hall, a large study area, a computer cluster, an academic and activities center. The complex also includes a food court, a laundry room, a small fitness center, and a recreational space, all of which is open to the BBB residents.

Boland Hall has nine floors with eight devoted to rooming. The main floor consists of the main desk and mailboxes. The floors are coed by alternating rooms and have two bathrooms – one for females and one for males, which are next to each other. There is one room for the RA, three singles, and 16 split doubles. There is also a lounge area with a TV and couches. Boland Hall has two elevators and three sets of stairs.

Brewster Hall has 13 floors with 12 for rooming. There is only one elevator in Brewster Hall, but the wait is usually not too long. The main floor consists of the main desk and mailboxes. Brewster Hall is also coed by alternating rooms and has a lounge area, except for the seventh, eighth, ninth, 11th, and 12th floor. On floors one through six and 10, there is one room for the RA, one single, eight split doubles, and two four-person suites. The lounge areas on floors seven through nine and 11-12 do not have a lounge area, because those rooms have been converted to triples to accommodate admissions overflow.

Brockway Hall, which only has one floor for rooms, is also coed by alternating rooms. The floor consists of one room for the RA, two singles, and 12 open doubles. [2].

Dining Options

The closest Dining Hall to residents of BBB is Brockway Hall’s Dining Hall. The Brockway Dining Hall is described as one of the best dining halls on the Syracuse Campus. Hours for the dinning hall can be found at http://foodservices.syr.edu/diningcenters.cfm.

Amenities
