Bowditch Hall

Located on North Campus, Bowditch Hall is one of two First Year Experience residence halls and houses 340 first-year students in double, triple and quad style rooms across six floors with a community area on each floor. Each floor is designated as either single-gender or co-ed (with rooms assigned by biological sex).

This newly renovated hall comes equipped with an information desk, vending machines, a pool table, a foosball table, a flatscreen TV, Bluetooth speaker bar, laundry room, mail room, and a kitchen area.  

Living on campus has its perks, Bowditch is steps away from Peabody Hall, classroom buildings, the North Campus Dining Commons, the library, Dunkin’ Donuts, a Viking Shuttle stop, and the Gassett Fitness Center. 

Bowditch residents are committed to creating a comfortable and safe community for themselves and their peers by offering a variety of social, cultural and educational programming opportunities.
