JACKSON, POTTER, AND REES HALLS

Jackson, Potter, and Rees Halls make up HWS’ first-year-only neighborhood. The three halls are part of a residence complex and are attached by hallways/stairwells that connect all three halls together. This residential complex is known as JPR.

JPR is home to 330 Hobart and William Smith first-year students. Students participating in our Living and Learning Communities program reside in this complex. These students participate in classroom activities right on their floor!
