This beloved hall has a quirky charm that only gets better with age. Traditionally the site of the annual senior class photo, Cudd is iconic Converse. Cudd’s distinctive Southern architecture made for a cozy home-away-from-home for generations of Converse’s upperclassmen.
Today, Cudd is a living-learning community for Converse’s Nisbet Honors students. In 2023, a $4.8 million revitalization of Cudd Hall preserved the building’s historic character while breathing new life into this residential hall.
Cudd now offers a self-service coffee market on the first floor, open to the campus community, a second-story kitchen, and a third-story study room, all connected by an open center stairway and connected to the iconic porches facing the inner quad.
