Talcott Hall

One of the oldest buildings on campus, Talcott was built in 1886. Although it’s been renovated over the years, Talcott has retained its home-like atmosphere. This is a traditional residence hall that can accommodate 80 students.

It has a television, piano, study area, and lounge on the first floor, while residents live on the second and third floors. Singles and doubles are available. Talcott is open to second-year and older students.

Talcott Hall is also home to a dining hall on the first floor that combines Heritage Kitchen and Clarity Dining Hall. Heritage Kitchen offers progressive kosher cuisine that adheres to Jewish dietary laws, and Clarity Dining Hall is Oberlin College’s completely allergen-free kitchen, serving lunch and dinner free of the eight most common food allergens.
