First-Year Experience Housing: Barrows

Barrows

Barrows Hall is located on Woodland Street, perfectly between the Philips Physical Education Center and Wilder Student Union, and just across the North Quad from the Science Center. The only First Year Experience hall on north campus, Barrows houses approximately 130 students with an all-female first floor.

Barrows has a history of a strong Hall Council and many students use it as a vehicle for involvement elsewhere on campus. Those interested in trying out a leadership role or who just wanted to organize programs to get students involved in their community find this an easy avenue to navigate. Hall Council members, along with five Resident Assistants (RAs) and one live-in professional staff member, work hard at providing events specifically designed to help students make the transition from high school to college. These generally include opportunities to meet faculty members in informal settings, social events, special tutorial programs and seminars on topics of particular concern to First-Year students.
