BHSU offers residence halls and apartments, fostering community through Living Learning Communities that integrate academics and social engagement, enhancing the student experience in a supportive environment.
The West Complex, commonly called The Peaks, is the three-building complex of Heidepriem Hall, Thomas Hall, and Bordeaux Hall. The three residence halls are joined together by the Lookout Lodge room. Boardeaux Hall allows for elevator access to all levels of The Peaks triplex.
The Bordeaux Hall is the newest residence hall on campus. The nearly 50,000-square-foot residence hall connects two existing halls, Heidepriem and Thomas, with a central living area that is the resident life hub for all three buildings. It includes a two-story great room, a fireplace, and multimedia study rooms. Additionally, a fully-equipped residential kitchen and snack area is available to all residents of campus halls and Yellow Jacket Apartments, featuring 24/7 access to hot food vending. The average dimension of Bordeaux Hall rooms is 20' x 10'.
Heidepriem Hall, or "Heide" as it is commonly known, is the largest co-ed residence hall on the BHSU campus with room for 154 residents. Residents in Heide often spend their time just hanging out with one another. Heide holds many amenities like the cooking area on the second floor, and the TV lounge and ping-pong table on the first floor. Both places are perfect for spending time with friends. Heide is comprised of two male wings and four female wings, all of which conveniently house their own washers and dryers. Living in Heide will also give you easy access to the Disc Golf course, the large campus green, and beautiful scenery. Whatever your interests are, there is a place for you in Heide. Room sizes for Heidepriem Hall are 14' x 12'.
Thomas Hall, or "T-Hall" as it is commonly referred to, is one of the larger co-ed residence halls with a capacity of 152 residents. Thomas Hall is a great place to make any student feel comfortable in the college setting because of the large recreation lounge, study lounge, and TV/movie lounge. Students who live in Thomas have a great experience with all that is offered by their fun and dynamic staff. Thomas Hall will be a staple of your college experience!

The East Complex Residence Halls include Humbert Hall and Wenona Cook Hall, two traditional-style residence halls located on the east side of campus. Known for their close-knit communities and character, these buildings offer a welcoming environment for students looking to stay connected and engaged at BHSU. Their location provides easy access to academic spaces and outdoor facilities.
Humbert is conveniently located across the street from the Student Union. This residence hall is a close-knit community building, housing 80+ students. Laundry services are provided on the first floor and the second floor houses a kitchen combined with a TV/Movie lounge area. The ROTC Office and the BHSU Student Food Bank (Supported by the BHSU Honors Program) is also located on the first floor, with a separate outside entrance. Room sizes for Humbert Hall are 14' x 12'.
Wenona Cook, or “Dub-C” as it is commonly referred to, is BHSU's oldest residence hall. Named after the founder of BHSU's first Art Department and wife of BHSU's first President, Wenona Cook personifies the historic beauty of our campus. Residents of Wenona Cook enjoy very close proximity to Lyle Hare Stadium and many other great areas on the BHSU campus. The average room size for Wenona Cook Hall is 14' x 19'.
The Yellow Jacket Apartments are the perfect option for students over the age of 19 who need a little more privacy but still want to stay connected to the exciting environment of campus living. Living in the suites does work to fulfill the two-year live-on requirement. There is a focus on sustainability at the Yellow Jacket Apartments. Our programs encourage residents to make eco-friendly choices.
