Reed/Johnson and Weible Halls, along with Sevrinson and Thompson Halls, serve as the hub for the First Year Experience (FYE), which provides transition programs for first-year students. The FYE Program helps students meet peers, adjust to academic challenges, develop time management skills, and learn to be independent during their first year of college. Only first year students live in Reed, Johnson,Weible, Sevrinson, and Thompson Halls.

Thompson Hall is home to the Pharmacy House. Established in 2006, it is available for Pre-Pharmacy students who are working to gain admittance into the program. The College of Pharmacy, Nursing, and Allied Sciences supports this house by assisting in the recruitment of house members and facilitating programs throughout the year focusing on student success. The Pharmacy House is currently located on eighth and ninth floors of Thompson Hall.

Thompson Hall was one of the two high-rises to be built on the NDSU campus in 1967 as part of the "Gemini Project." The "Gemini Project" was the construction of two identical high-rises (the other being Severinson Hall). The high-rise is a nine-story structure that houses 272 students.

In 1969, the high-rise was named Thompson Hall in honor of Matilda Thompson, Dean of Women from 1957 to 1963. Thompson earned a degree in teaching from Valley City Teachers College in 1915 and a bachelor's degree in chemistry and natural sciences from NDAC (SU) in 1921. In 1929, she earned a master's degree in mathematics and guidance from Columbia University.

After teaching high school for a six year period, with a two year interruption while attending NDAC, Thompson joined the NDAC faculty in 1923 as an instructor in mathematics and rose to the rank of full professor in 1958. In 1957, Thompson was made Dean of Women. She resigned in 1963 as Dean of Women and returned to teaching mathematics. Thompson retired in 1965.
