The first floor of Disert houses Women With Children students in two-room suites. Each room within the suite is approximately 11'11" x 15'9" (bathroom and closets are included in that dimension).

For 2012-2013, second floor will house upperclass students and third floor will house first year students. Each Disert floor boasts a fully-equipped kitchen, two spacious bathrooms, a comfortable, semi-private lounge, as well as large laundry and computer rooms. All the rooms on these floors are divided doubles, meaning they have a built-in divider of dressers, closets, and bookshelves that separates the room into two evenly-sized sections. This arrangement offers the flexibility to have more individual privacy within a shared space or to design private and public spaces within one room. The built-in divider also provides ample storage without cluttering the room. The total dimensions of each room (including the built-in) is 11'11" x 15'9".

South Hall -  Located on the east side of campus between the Alumnae House and Riddle Hall - was constructed in 1899 and was originally called "South College" and housed members of the senior class.

Housing mostly upper class students, South is comprised of three floors of two-room double suites and single-room single suites. Each suite has a private bathroom. Double suite rooms are approximately 11'6" x 15'6" (front room) and 10' x 12' (back room) and house two students total. Single suites are approximately 15' x 14'.

Riddle Hall - Located beside South Hall on the east side of campus - Riddle Hall was built in 1928 and named for Henry Riddle, a trustee from 1900 to 1922. Renovations of Riddle were completed in 1995.

Riddle is the choice of many upperclass students and its suites are comprised of two double rooms (12' x 16') sharing a connecting bathroom (four students total per suite). There are also a few stand-alone double rooms as well as a few single rooms (12' x 11'); some with private bathrooms, a sink and vanity combo, or sharing a "common" bathroom on the hall.

Prentis Hall – Located next to Laird Hall, just south of Mac/Dav, Prentis Hall initially served as a traditional student dormitory. Constructed in 1956, with students moving from Main Hall to Prentis in February, 1956, the dedication took place June 2, 1956. Prentis was named for H. W. Prentis, Wilson College trustee 1937 to 1957.  Prentis was converted to a Women With Children residence in 1997 and 1998. The reconfigured residence hall was dedicated on January 30, 1998 with Pennsylvania First Lady Michelle Ridge participating.

Prentis suites consist of two rooms with a private bath. Each room within the suite is approximately 13'x17' (bathrooms and closets are included in that dimension). Residents share a kitchen, laundry, playroom with TV, and computer lab on each floor. Thanks to a generous gift from the Class of 1963, the main Prentis Hall lounge was renovated during the summer and fall of 2009. Additional WWC Housing Info

Rosenkrans Hall - Constructed in 1966, Rosenkrans Hall was named for Lillian Rosenkrans, Dean of the College, 1918-1938.
