Whidden Hall

One of the oldest and most infamous halls of residence at McMaster University. Originally a mens only dorm in the 1960's, it became co-ed in 1982. Whidden Hall was the scene of very high spirited activities in the 1960's and is purported to be a possible source of inspiration for the movie Animal House. This is however and element of debate as Ivan Reitman had resided in Matthews Hall. A traditionally dorm styled residence, the dormatories have one common room and kitchen to each floor, there are public-use bathrooms located in each of the three wings. Accomodations available include single rooms (strictly reserved upper year students), double and triple bunk and loft rooms for first year students. There are triple rooms outfitted with a balcony which is helpful since there is no air conditioning or central heating features within the residence. Rising to a pinnacle of four floors, the view leaves the typical student with much to be desired.
