Blackstone Hall offers its residents continuous housing from August through May. Students are permitted to stay in Blackstone Hall during winter break if they request to do so. There is no additional cost for living in Blackstone Hall during the winter break. Students may also request summer housing which allows students to reside in Blackstone Hall during the summer. When possible, RLH will assign students to the same room as their upcoming fall assignment, but this may not be possible if consolidation is required for safety, maintenance, or summer conferencing purposes.
