Overview
Dickens Hall opened in August 2012. This hall has been designated as an upperclassman hall for 290 male and female students. It features a hybrid style of housing, apartment-style with a residence hall setting. It was named after Marty Dickens, former chairman of the Board of Trustees. The main entrance and each floor is monitored through ID card access. In addition, there is a three-level parking garage attached to the building.
Staff
Dickens Hall residents are supported by nine Residents Assistants (RAs) with one to two RAs per floor. Each RA has gone through extensive training in order to be a resource to our residents. RAs create social and educational opportunities right here in the complex through programming and community-building efforts. The RAs are supervised by one full-time, live-in professional staff member, known as the Residence Director (RD). The RD is trained in crisis management, acts as a resource to the residents of the complex, and oversees the administrative aspects of the complex such as maintenance and discipline. The RD maintains regular hours in their office and lives in an apartment that is also located in the building. The front desk is open during visitation hours.

Belmont’s Mail Center has installed a state-of-the-art mail locker system and acquired new mail/package tracking software. Each student will be assigned a unique “Bruin Mail Code” number that will remain for their entire residency. Mail and packages can be retrieved at the Mail Center (UPS Store) on 12th Ave S. Students must address all mail/packages with their unique mail ID# using the following format:
Student Name/Bruin Mail Code
Belmont University
1900 Belmont Blvd
Nashville, TN 37212
Most student mail/packages will be sorted into lockers upon campus arrival and you will be notified via your Belmont email. The locker area in the mail center is accessible 24/7. (Not all packages/mail will be immediately available through the locker system.) Oversize packages will need to be picked up at the service window during normal UPS Store business hours once you receive that notification. Packages/mail will be held in the lockers for 48 hours after the student receives notification and after that will be available at the pickup window. Unclaimed mail/packages after 14 days will be returned to sender.
