Merrill House is one of Hampshire College's two traditional style residence halls. It was built in 1970 and houses approximately 247 students in single and double rooms.

Each hall in Merrill has a long side and a short side, which are usually considered as two separate halls. Merrill also has more older students than Dakin House.

Usually no more than half of Merrill residents are first-year students.
