Welch Hall
Freshmen in Davenport College live in Welch Hall, which is on Old Campus. On move-in day, College Street will be blocked off by the police and made into a one-way heading south from Elm Street to Chapel Street.
Davenport Crest
All Davenport students should display the Davenport crest on their windshield so that the student move-in crews can identify you and help move your things into your room. Click the crest for a larger image.
