Residence Life: Residence Hall Descriptions
You can come to Jewell knowing all rooms have a bed (with an extra long, twin mattress), 4-6 drawer dresser, desk, chair, wardrobe or closet space and Internet access for each resident. Students supply their own bed linens, including pillows. In each residence hall, you will find lounge areas with a large TV, a kitchen and/or microwave/refrigerator access, laundry facilities and vending machines for those late night study sessions. Our staff operates an office in each hall that provides a myriad of checkout services (games, movies, etc.). You will find our staff friendly, helpful and willing to serve you—the resident.
For planning purposes, please know Jewell prohibits the following items in student rooms: hot plates, toasters (all kinds), coffee makers, or anything with an exposed heating element. Also note these items can be stored and used in the common area kitchenettes, located in each building, for student use. Not sure if you can bring something? Just e-mail the Residence Life Staff, and we will let you know!
For dimensions information about the floor plan of your residence hall building or room, click on your building's name below. On the floor plans, the "R" denotes room dimensions, while "W" denotes window dimensions and how many of them are in the room. This should be helpful information, as you prepare for your new adventure at Jewell!
Browning is an upperclass hall that houses both men and women with some private rooms. Each room has a sink and medicine cabinet/mirror. During summer 2005, Browning underwent significant improvements with new AC/heat units in each room, windows, flooring and fresh paint. With tiled floors in each resident room (common areas and hallways are carpeted), students can opt to bring a carpet of their own or leave the floor as is. The bathrooms are community (shower stalls), located on each wing of the building. Total occupancy is 135.
The hall for first-year men, Eaton houses about 142. Mostly double-occupancy rooms, there are also two 4-person rooms. The bathrooms are community (shower stalls), located on each wing of every floor. The first floor resident rooms of Eaton have a tiled floor, so students can opt to bring a carpet/rug or leave the floor as is.
One of two first-year women's halls, Ely houses about 138 women. Mostly double-occupancy rooms, there are also two 3-person rooms. The bathrooms are community (shower stalls), located on each wing of each floor. Ely's main lobby was redone over the summer (2005) and anxiously awaits its new first-year women.
