Living at Dana Hall

Dana Hall dorms are not just four walls and a place to store your stuff – they serve as your home base within a caring community. There, you’ll learn to live with others, start lifelong friendships, gain important skills, and ready yourself for living on your own in college and beyond.

Plenty of good friends

Before I came to Dana, I read the book Prep. I thought, "If this is what boarding school is like, I am doomed!" But my first night, my proctor and another girl sat and talked with me for three hours, and I knew then that I'd always have someone to go to. I made great friends that first week: a really sturdy group of friends.
