Bracken Hall is our all female residence hall and is quaintly nestled near the heart of the campus. Although Bracken mainly houses first year females, there are approximately 30 upperclassmen that call Bracken their home. Bracken Hall features exciting programming, custom planned for each year’s residents. Some examples of popular events include cookouts, Galentine’s events, Christmas parties, a Fall Fest, and individual events for each hallway in the building.
The common theme of Bracken centers on the close knit community that is developed while living in a traditional style residence hall. Much of this community is built through the opportunities that come through connecting with girls who share a stair landing and through shared bathroom space. You can often find residents in the lobby watching movies, playing games, and studying together in the study room. Because of the ease of meeting other residents in the hall, Bracken is a perfect place to live your first year and beyond.
Like all residence halls, Bracken has a wonderful Residence Life staff. The staff includes four young women who are selected as Resident Advisors. The RA’s do a great job providing comfortable living conditions, building relationships among residents and providing spiritual guidance. Overall, Bracken Hall provides a fantastic and memorable living experience for all residents.

Your room has been cleaned and is presented to you in a standard condition. To be properly cleared at the time you vacate the apartment/room, it must be vacated in the same standard condition in which you have found it.
All rooms are subject to periodic inspections by University personnel. Students are expected to keep their areas orderly & reasonably clean. Rooms vacated in a non-standard condition will be charged against your room deposit per occupant, plus the cost of returning the room to standard condition.
Bracken Hall was named for long-time President Archie K. Bracken (1920-27 and 1930-42).
