The best experience of living in Perry-Fiske is being able to just walk down the hall and see friends.”
—Ethan Goore ’21, Waimea, Hawai‘i
Step into Perry-Fiske Hall and you’ll find boys from across the globe studying together, battling it out in spirited ping-pong games in the commons, or simply hanging out and having fun. At the start of the year, many arrive as strangers, but Perry-Fiske’s welcoming, inclusive culture ensures everyone feels at home from day one. In just a few short weeks, those first introductions grow into deep friendships that often last a lifetime.
Known for legendary barbecues, an annual Super Bowl Sunday celebration, and marathon movie nights, Perry-Fiske Hall is as much about community as it is about camaraderie. The boys are frequently seen lending a hand around campus, supported by an environment that encourages connection, responsibility, and belonging. Above all, Perry-Fiske boys care deeply about one another and their community—building bonds and memories that stay with them long after their time at HPA comes to an end.
