ResHall Living Options

Traditional Low-Rise Halls

These seven buildings are co-educational halls, each housing a range of students from freshman through seniors. Each hall has its own history and traditions, and each makes a special effort to welcome entering first-year students each fall.

Wells Towers

Wells is our "tower" residence hall complex. Wells East and Wells West each have ten floors and house nearly one third of the on-campus population. With so many people, Wells residents consistently talk about how easy it is to meet friends. Several in-hall resources also make Wells particularly attractive:

  • University Fitness (a fully-furnished fitness center)
  • Jitters (the Wells Hall Coffeehouse)
  • A large computer lab
  • Extended front desk hours

YearOne Program

Our YearOne program is open to first-year students, and it helps ease your transition to college life. YearOne provides you with easy ways to become involved in the hall. The program also has an academic emphasis. Faculty have offices in the building.

Women's Housing - Discontinued beginning the 2008-09 academic year

Benson Hall
Some students prefer the option of a traditional all-female residence hall. The residents of Benson Hall enjoy the camaraderie and esprit de corps that can develop in a traditional residence hall.

Upper class and Graduate Floor

Goodhue Hall 4th floor
Housing for upper class and graduate students, which responds to the unique needs of these groups, is available as well. This community is self-governing and it provides a mature environment reflective of the tenor of upper class and graduate education.

Smoke-Free Halls

Smoking is prohibited in all areas of all of our residence halls, including resident rooms. Smoke-free halls prohibit smoking throughout building.

Substance Free Floor

Wells East (6th floor) While illegal drugs and underage drinking are prohibited in all of our residence halls, this environment is for students who agree to ensure that no alcohol, drugs, or tobacco be allowed anywhere on the floor.

Single Rooms

As space permits, single rooms are offered on a seniority and/or priority basis to students in the hall of their choice. The rate for single rooms is somewhat higher than that of double rooms.
