Here’s everything you need to know about your residence hall

By Charlotte Jones cmj35@iu.edu

Briscoe

The closest residence hall to the stadium and one of the best C-Stores on campus, Briscoe remains one of the most popular residence hall locations. It’s also home to the Civic Leaders Center community. Complete with its own bike lockers, Briscoe remains the place to be.

Collins

Home to the Collins LLC, this recently renovated gothic residence hall has everything: stained glass gnomes, a latenight café and a robust community. It’s just down the street from the IMU and Campus River, perfect for any member of the College of Arts and Sciences.

Eigenmann

Colloquially known as Eigy, Eigenmann has its own library and computer labs. While a in a bit of a secluded location, it’s not too far from the Kelley School of Business and the Student Recreation Sports Center.

Forest

With 11 floors and a top-tier dining hall, it has everything you need.

It’s also home to the Media LLC and Thomas I. Atkins LLC, providing a community for freshmen. Don’t worry about climbing those stairs, the building does have elevators to bring you to your floor.

McNutt

With a brand new C-Store and dining hall, McNutt is the perfect place to live for anyone who wants a prime location for tailgating season. The residence hall rooms are spacious with the center of each hallway lined with single-stall bathrooms. Oh — and I almost forgot to mention that it contains its very own Starbucks.

Read

You heard me — from above, the building looks like an X. Aside from the awesome architecture, Read features a Campus Café and music practice rooms for its residents. It’s just seconds away from Forest, Spruce and Willkie, creating a tight-knit community.

Spruce

Featuring large windows and big rooms, Spruce is perfect for those who need a little more wiggle room. A two second walk away from Forest’s dining hall and with communal kitchenettes, it’s incredible for the budding foodie.

Teter

Home to the Luddy LLC, it’s right on top of the IU campus bus route. It also happens to be right across the street from Wright’s dining hall and parking lot. Don’t forget to study — it’s a block away from the library.

Walnut Grove

Practically brand new, this residence hall is just a short walk from McNutt’s dining hall and not even a block away from the tailgating fields. The main floor features amazing kitchens, laundry rooms and study rooms for last-minute cramming. It also has an elevator in every building, making it extremely accessible.

Wells

Want to live in a place that looks like a castle? Wells is the place for you. Home of the Goodbody Eatery and first women’s residence hall on campus, this residence hall is right next door to the science buildings and across the street from Mother Bear’s Pizza. It’s also right behind the best picnic spot on campus, so close to everything you need.

Willkie

Want a private bathroom? Willkie’s got you covered. It’s the perfect mix of residence hall living and independence, only a short walk from Forest’s dining hall and the Jacobs School of Music. It even has its own C-Store.
