Vedder Hall is one of several residence halls on campus where first-year students live. In later years, students have, in addition to standard residence hall options, on-campus options including suite- and apartment-style living, themed Affinity Houses and Greek life housing. A limited number of seniors can receive permission to live in downtown Lewisburg.
