The residential quad is a sloping, tree-lined green, flanked by our three first-year College Houses and Schnader and Thomas residence halls. F&M’s primary dining facility, the Restaurants at Ben Franklin (referred to as D-Hall by students) is conveniently located on the residential quad on campus. The residential quad is the scene of many exciting events on campus, including the All-Campus Semester Kick-Off Party and a celebration of Holi, the Festival of Colors.
