The Residence Halls

The Office of Residence Life and Housing at Morgan State University offers several types of housing accommodations to meet the diverse needs of our student population. Approximately 2,000 students are housed in 4 traditional residence halls, two high rise buildings and two apartment complexes. The University provides the basic utilities which include; heat, water, electricity and waste disposal services.

Baldwin, Cummings, Harper/ Tubman and O'Connell are traditional (three floors) style housing. Baldwin (upper-class male), Cummings (males) and Harper/ Tubman (females) are composed of primarily double occupancy rooms with a central hallway and a bathroom joining two rooms (maximum of four residents share the bathroom). Each room has individual controlled heat and air conditioning. O'Connell Hall (freshman male) is also primarily composed of double rooms with a central hallway and shares a common bathroom/ showers (maximum 30 residents).

Blount Towers (all female classifications) and Rawlings Hall (male upperclassmen) are high- rise (six to eight floors) residence halls. The two most recently built residence halls on campus are comprised of both double and triple rooms. The floor is divided among clusters where the residents share a common bathroom (maximum of 10 residents).

Thurgood Marshall (co-ed upper-class) and Marble Hall Gardens (co-ed upper-class located off-campus) are the apartment style residence hall complexes. These halls have full kitchens and bathrooms with a living room area.

Each residence hall has a main area, vending machine, and washer/ dryers at cost and in most residence halls, computer labs available for the use by the residents only. In Blount Towers a Convenience Store is operated by the University food service. The University dining facility is adjacent to Rawlings Hall.
