In the fall of 1985, freshmen were allowed to live in High Rise Hall for the first time, which raised the concern among some students of the wisdom of concentrating freshmen into selected residential areas. Nevertheless, a Tripod article from the time claimed that undergraduates had been largely supportive of that idea, and it was best for freshmen to be integrated into these dorms prior to the beginning of residential academic 'mentors,' a program which was proposed to commence in the Fall 1986.

High Rise Hall was arranged to house four-person suites with four suites per floor. Within each suite there was a living room, single bedrooms and a bathroom.
