SEQUOIA RESIDENCE HALL
Reedley College’s Sequoia Hall provides housing facilities for 100 women and 100 men.

Life in Sequoia Hall provides opportunities for learning to live successfully with others and to share in the give and take of residence hall life. Sequoia Hall is considered to be more than mere living quarters; therefore, high standards of behavior are expected of all residents.
