Chapin Hall is the Humanities Residential College, open to all majors. With its spacious lounges and rooms, clean bathrooms, grand staircase and old-fashioned decor, to call Chapin the fanciest dorm of Northwestern would not be an exaggeration. It houses about 70 students, mostly freshmen and sophomores. Its location on the southwest corner of campus permits easy access to downtown Evanston.
“Living in Chapin doesn’t suck. The rooms are really big. Several great experiences I’ve had in Chapin include being late at night, feeling very tired, but instead of going to bed, I play Settlers of Catan, watch movies or just talk about life with Chapinos.”
Michael Ryzhov, Weinberg sophomore
“I remember the first week that I was here, during Wildcat Welcome, a lot of the upperclassmen had already moved in because they were helping with Purple Posse, and I meant this guy named Noah, and Noah is my best friend now. I didn’t know at the time I would grow to be very fond of the community, but I did. I remember late at night we were playing pool or something, and talking about what it means to be a Northwestern student. That helped me out a lot.”
Edison Urena, Weinberg sophomore
“It's a chill place to live. People here are really nice, very relaxing, dorms are really big and that was a real big fuss. I think it's the biggest on campus, actually. ”
Alex Moisa, Weinberg freshman
“I would say we are quirky, we are Chamily and we are kind of eclectic. We have people of all different schools and majors, with different interests and things they like to do, but somehow it all sort of works.”
Elizabeth Phillips, SESP freshman
