Boarding and General Facilities
Kimball Union operates ten residences ranging in size from 5 to 45 students, including Bryant Hall (1910), Chellis Hall (1835), Densmore Hall (1963), Dexter Richards Hall (1936), Hazelton House (1825), Kilton House (1830), Mikula Hall (1985), Rowe Hall (1820), Tracy House (1961), and Welch House (1835). The variety in dorm size gives students the opportunity to choose the environment that suits them best. There is a faculty member living on each floor of the larger halls and in each of the smaller houses. At least 60 percent of the students live in single rooms, with the rest in double rooms.
There is a health center staffed by registered nurses, and the Dartmouth–Hitchcock Medical Center is less than 30 minutes away. The Doe Dining Commons is the center of daily life at Kimball Union, with the newly renovated Student Center providing a recreational space where students can socialize, play games or browse the campus bookstore.

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or facilities:
“‘A thing is called by a certain name because it instantiates a certain universal’ is obviously circular when particularized, but it looks imposing when left in this general form. And it looks imposing in this general form largely because of the inveterate philosophical habit of treating the shadows cast by words and sentences as if they were separately identifiable. Universals, like facts and propositions, are such shadows.”
—David Pears (b. 1921)
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
