Each suite also contains a common living space and a large bathroom. Features include a rooftop lounge and the Down Under, commonly referred to by students as “Dunder”, a late night dining concept, which offers snacks, made-to-order subs and salads, and Starbucks coffee drinks.

Suite arrangements may vary depending on assignment. Dimensions for single and double rooms vary slightly from room to room.

The approximate measurements are:
Double Room – 14′ x 13′
Single Room – 8′ x 13′

Ponder Hall houses 2 Residential Learning Community (RLC); the Engineering RLC and the CLOUD RLC. For more information on the RLCs in Ponder Hall, please visit our RLC page.
