Room Descriptions - We hope this will help you in filling out your Room Request form!
Please remember that we assign rooms in the order we received your application and fee. All of our rooms are great, so even if you have the most recent application date you will still get a great room! We ask that you pretend you have the oldest date when filling out your room request form because you never know how the puzzle will fall into place! But please don’t be disappointed if you don’t get one of your top choices. We encourage you to see the floor plans and dimensions of all of our rooms.Red House is located across the street from the Main House front desk. It is the original Hardin House building and generally fills up with those who have very early application dates. This is probably because many of the girls' moms, aunts, sisters and even grandmothers lived in Red House and they knew to send in their applications early. The rooms in Red House are very large, with huge closets and high ceilings. Many of these rooms are triple occupancy, so be prepared to share your room and bath with others! Because of the many three girl rooms, this house is dense with girls and is definitely for someone who can study and sleep with a lot of activity. There are 42 girls in the main Red House building. Rooms AA, BB and 1-5 are on the first floor; rooms 6-16 are on the 2nd floor. Red House also has a study and computer room as well as an exercise room and laundry room. Red House residents join the rest of Hardin House in the one dining room located in Main House across the street.
