Lynn Information

Lynn History

Founded in 1962 as Marymount College, a women’s junior college founded by the religious order of the Sacred Heart of Mary has developed into a individualized, innovative and international university known today as Lynn University.

Dr. Donald Ross, president of a college in Delaware, came to the school to purchase library books and witnessed the downfall of the institution financially. He was inspired by the Marymount’s student’s efforts to keep the school going. In 1971 Dr. Donald E. Ross was named President of the college after not only purchasing the library books, but the entire college. By 1974 the name of the school was officially changed to the College of Boca Raton.

By 1986 it was transformed from a two-year school to a four-year college with an accredited master’s program. In 1991 the name changed again and became Lynn University to reflect the increasing global nature of its mission, to demonstrate the growth of its programs as well as its academic accreditation and to honor the Lynn family, distinguished benefactors.

Lynn has 5 residence halls on campus and two of them are predominately for first year students, one is predominately for upperclassmen students and the remaining two are a mix of Conservatory of Music students, athletes and an all-class mix of students.

There definitely is not a ‘bad’ dorm to live in, but deHoernle and Freiburger are some of the oldest dorms on campus. They have recently been renovated. E.M Lynn is by far the nicest dorm on campus as it is the newest hall built. All residence halls are coed. Buildings with community bathrooms are coed by floor and buildings with private bathrooms have men and women living on the same floor.
