Living in Siddall Hall: what to know before you pack

The room

Siddall's 360 tours cover single, double, and quad rooms. UC's own photos show quads and doubles with bunk beds and large windows, and singles arriving in a high-loft configuration with storage and a wardrobe beneath -- though nothing on UC's site marks that arrangement as permanent, and Siddall is not among the halls excluded from bed adjustments, so a request through the Bed Set-Up form is still on the table. Rooms include built-in storage: UC describes windows with large seating surfaces and drawers beneath. AC, heat, high-speed internet, and one micro-fridge are standard across UC housing. The one gap worth flagging: unlike Dabney, Daniels, and Calhoun, UC's Siddall page publishes no bed size, so confirm it with Housing before buying bedding.

Day to day

Siddall's standout amenity is its ground-level recreation and fitness center, open 6 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m.-9 p.m. on weekends, and shared with Calhoun Hall residents next door. UC describes Siddall students as taking part in "famous ping pong tournaments in the first-floor lounge" and the occasional late-night ice-cream party. A shared kitchen with a refrigerator, cooktop, and high counters, a laundry room with work space, floor lounges with study furniture, and a sound-proof practice room for the CCM community round out the shared spaces. Community bathrooms with shower stalls serve each floor.

Move-in day

Siddall follows UC's shared first-year move-in window of August 18-20, 2026 -- there is no Siddall-specific day. Individual appointment times (9 a.m.-4 p.m. on the 18th and 19th, 9 a.m.-noon on the 20th) are assigned through the housing portal in late July, and UC notes your timeslot is your arrival time at your assigned check-in garage, not at the hall. Required first-year floor meetings are held August 20 -- UC's page text says 4 p.m. and its schedule table says 4:45 p.m. Classes begin August 24.
