The hilltop site of "The Fayers," as this cluster is affectionately known, has a colorful residential history. On the site once stood an outhouse for residents of adjacent Dartmouth Hall (now an academic building). Just before 1900, New York merchant Daniel B. Fayerweather donated the money to launch the construction of Fayerweather Hall. Seven years later, the larger North and South Fayerweather Halls were built to remedy a continuing housing shortage. Fire ravaged these halls in 1909, but little injury to students resulted because they jumped out of windows into the cushioning snow. The Fayerweathers' alumni sponsor is the Class of 1961.
The Fayerweathers is an upperclass community consisting mostly of triple rooms. Rooms are carpeted and many include a half-bath.
The Fayerweathers hosts a pre-major advising pilot program for sophomores. The purpose of the program is to provide special opportunities for sophomores to meet with faculty and others who can assist them in defining a major course of study and address other issues unique to the sophomore experience in the residence halls. Participation in the program is entirely optional.
- Mid Fayerweather - 107 beds

Wheeler
Wheeler Hall sits between Rollins Chapel and Richardson Hall, and is directly across the street from Baker Library. Wheeler is noted for the “L-shape" of many of its double rooms. Many rooms also have half-baths. Wheeler is an all upperclass community for 2007-08.
Richardson
Richardson, the oldest student residence on campus, is venerable in appearance; sitting on a hilltop, its stone and brickwork classically envelop a rotunda-like entry. Students live on four single-sex floors, primarily in two-room doubles and triples. Richardson is all upperclass and substance-free for the 2007-08 academic year.
Hitchcock
Recently renovated, Hitchcock offers a completely new interior while maintaining Dartmouth's aesthetic red brick and copper exterior. Hitchcock's location offers easy access to Baker/Berry Library, Thayer Dining Hall, and Collis Student Center.
Hitchcock Hall, an upperclass community, houses residents in two-room doubles and one-room singles.
