Meyland Hall

Meyland Hall embodies a unique balance between scholastic enterprise and all the fun of the college years, providing residents with a clean, comfortable environment that quickly comes to feel like home. It is founded upon a broad history of tradition, with the most important of these being our tradition of true student creativity; in Meyland great ideas become reality every day. From the Outback to the Tundra, the Boondocks to the Backcountry, Meyland Hall is the perfect outlet to get the most out of the Northern Experience.” Meyland was fully renovated in the summer of 2006. Note: Due to the type of furniture in the Meyland Hall rooms, lofts are not permitted. Loft kits manufactured to fit the beds are available for rent. Meyland is all co-ed and is building number 70 on the campus map.
