Housing Application
Le Fer Hall
Le Fer Hall may look like a castle, but it is complete with the modern conveniences you need to live, learn and work at SMWC in Saint Mary of the Woods, Indiana. Housed in this 1923 old-world French renaissance structure are the basic comforts of home — air conditioning, hardwood floors, cable TV, desks, beds — plus amenities such as 24-hour computer lab, laundry facilities, student lounges and much more! Le Fer Hall is home to undergraduate students.
Immerse yourself in the full college experience.
Students who live on campus at SMWC find it easier to engage in the campus community which often means better grades and a happier student. And, there is the convenience of walking to class, watching a movie on the large screen television in The 1840, and having your friends close by when you need help with a class project.

Can I mount / hang stuff on my walls?
All posters and décor must be hung using command strips. You may hang curtains, but cannot install curtain rods unless you use the spring-loaded poles.
Should I bring a TV?
You should talk with your roommate to determine what each of you will bring so that you have enough space in your room for both of your belongings. This will prevent you from bringing doubles of items such as fridges or televisions.

“Our room is big. I live in a balcony room so I have a full view of the school. In the winter, I get to see all of The Woods. But I think my favorite part of living in Le Fer is definitely getting to live with my best friend. It’s just nice to know that if you ever need anything, there are people who will gladly help you.”
