Read some memories about Chaudoin Hall.

"The time we were there we got window air conditioning. A huge plus! I am glad to hear about elevators and ADA ramps. Maybe when it is finished, I can bring my daughter to see it. I am now totally wheelchair dependent due to a neurological disorder. A fun memory is making announcements via candle lighting and learning to sing "we are the girls of Chaudoin."

"This is awesome. I was on second south and loved my time there as a sophomore and lived on 3rd center in a single my last semester. Great historic building!"

Wendy Robinson Fernsell

"Chaudoin 1st North was my freshman hall in 1981-1982! So many great memories. My great-aunt lived there during her years at Stetson, and a local interior designer did a beautiful renovation of the lobby while I was there. Met some of my dearest lifelong friends there, and loved to sit on the front porch swings out front. Hope they are still there, Chaudoin Hall is a picture of southern architectural grandeur, and so glad she is being preserved!"

Latest Renovations

Built-in 1892, Chaudoin Hall is the oldest residential living and learning facility on Stetson’s DeLand campus. Named for W.N. Chaudoin, an early member of the university’s Board of Trustees, Chaudoin Hall is Stetson’s only all-female residence hall.

Hugely popular through the decades with students, the time came for a massive renovation. And it happened — from enhancements to increase comfort and safety to the addition of energy-efficient insulation, new HVAC and fire sprinkler systems, accessibility ramps and much more. The renovation work began in 2022 and was completed this fall. Plus, an elevator is coming this winter.
