Residence Halls
McCowen Hall
Built in 1963, McCowen hall was the the
first residence hall on West Campus. McCowen houses 504 students on ten co-ed floors. The lobby connects a north and a south wing each with five floors. McCowen is also the home of one of our Quiet Lifestyle communities.
Rooms in McCowen are two person rooms and two rooms are
connected by a sink and vanity. Community bathroom and shower
facilities are located on each floor. A television lounge is located in the center of the building and is
available for students to hang out or get involved in a variety of Hall Council activities. Other amenities available include a ping pong table, two pool tables and a foosball table. Students can check out game equipment from the front desk which is staffed 24 hours a day.
McCowen hall is just a short walk from Holmes Dining hall, the University Center and the West Campus Academic buildings.

"Living in the Residence Halls has been a wonderful experience. I have lived in them for two years, and in this time I have found lifelong friends. The people here have opened my eyes to the diversity of the world, and the beauty of others. There are so many opportunities for students who live in the Halls that other students miss out on, such as Hall Council, RHA, and the whole environment of communal living. The residents here have become my second family, and the bonds we have made will last our whole lives."
