Boss House

One of the oldest residence halls on campus, Boss House is a first-year community that offers a large outdoor courtyard, first-floor community lounge, recreation and television areas, study lounges, and laundry facilities. You can always find a sense of home here with your friends and housemates, working or hanging out in the lounges and sharing their best first-year memories.

Video tours of rooms represent the furniture and room layout at the time of filming.  Actual furniture, layout, and configurations may have changed since the video was created. Boss House room tours represent the layout of the same room number on floors 1 through 3. 


Floor plans are representative. Room measurements are estimates. Actual sizes and individual furniture configurations will vary.
