What's your living style?

Each Residence Hall has room or floor options that fit diverse student lifestyles. All room options are limited in number and waiting lists are maintained for options that may not be immediately available.

Room Options

Double Room
For two students to share one standard size room. We encourage all students to start off in a double room. Double rooms are located in Birch, Oak, Pine, and Tamarack.

Single Room without a Bath
For a single student in a smaller room (approximately one-half the size of a double room). This is a good choice for those who desire a little more privacy and love those cozy spaces. Single rooms without a bath are located in Birch and Pine.

Two and Three Person Linden Suites
For two or three students with private bedrooms and a shared bathroom. For students looking for the best of both worlds, Linden Suites is the next generation in residential living offering both privacy and the benefits of developing close bonds that only rooming together can bring. Linden Suites.

ADA Compliant Rooms
For students with disabilities, a limited number of ADA compliant rooms are located in Linden.

Learning Communities

First Year Residential Experience (FYRE)
First Year Residential Experience is an outstanding program where freshman students live in Oak and Pine on a floor with only other first year students. Participants make new friends and share similar experiences and together explore BSU and help one another make the transition to college life. 

Open Borders Learning Community (OBLC)
The Open Borders Learning Community comprises approximately 46 students who live on the same floor with students from around the world. OBLC residents stay in double rooms and are matched with a roommate from a different culture (most often American students paired with international students). OBLC is located in Tamarack. Freshmen living on the OBLC floor must participate in FYRE activities and must register for a FYRE section of the  FYE course.

This living options is available to approximately 40 residents that are enrolled or interested in the Honors Program.
