Cardinal Village is the university's community of apartment-style dormitories, part of Lamar University's investment in student life on campus. As of 2010 there were five "Phases" of Cardinal Village with the ability to house 2500 students. Each room includes a private bedroom, furnished unit that is equipped with the necessities of college life; Such as a mini-refrigerator, microwave, computer desk, telephone outlets, cable TV ready, and easy connectivity to the University’s network. Cardinal Village not only offers housing but community centers, study areas, meeting rooms, fitness centers, a swimming pool, on-site laundry facilities, basketball and volleyball courts, social lounges, and parking. During the summer of 2011 all five phases of Cardinal village were renamed after previously demolished buildings on campus: Phase I - Gentry Hall, Phase II - Morris Hall, Phase III - Combs Hall, Phase IV - Campbell Hall and Phase V - Monroe Hall.

Famous quotes containing the words cardinal and/or village:
“Distrust all those who love you extremely upon a very slight acquaintance, and without any visible reason. Be upon your guard, too, against those who confess, as their weaknesses, all the cardinal virtues.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“While yet it is cold January, and snow and ice are thick and solid, the prudent landlord comes from the village to get ice to cool his summer drink; impressively, even pathetically, wise, to foresee the heat and thirst of July now in January,—wearing a thick coat and mittens! when so many things are not provided for. It may be that he lays up no treasures in this world which will cool his summer drink in the next.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
