Traditional Halls
Classic Residential Experience
ResLife has four traditional, legacy halls (Stout, Wentz, Parker, and Iba built between
1949 and 1970) that offer the traditional residential experience for OSU students.
Traditional halls are the most common living experience on campus. Research shows
that students in traditional halls are more likely than not to have successful academic
experiences, meet new people, socialize, and build resilient friendship support networks.
In addition to these legacy halls, ResLife offers a modified traditional experience
at the University Commons Complex. Each hall offers unique amenities and houses students
by gender for shared rooms and community bathrooms.
