Thanks to major renovations that won a preservation award, Chapin maintains its historic charm as the oldest campus residence. It is known for having some of the largest rooms on campus, featuring high ceilings and tall windows. The first-floor lounge has a dramatic open-air staircase leading upstairs. Chapin is also home to the Humanities Residential College, drawing residents from an eclectic mix of majors.
