Residence Halls

The University has five residence halls: Mary White Hall, Cumberland Commons I, Cumberland Commons II, Edward Potter Hall, and Justin Potter Hall. Mary White Hall, Edward Potter Hall, and Justin Potter Hall, constructed in the 1960s, house a maximum of 225 students, and offer traditional community living on campus. Each air-conditioned hall features single and double occupancy rooms, a lounge area, laundry facilities, and an apartment for head residents. The Cumberland University Commons I and II, constructed in 1997 and 1999, are a student housing complex offering apartment-style living for 192 students. Each two-story unit houses six students and features single rooms and shared living/study areas. One unit is designed to accommodate students with physical disabilities in each commons. All rooms in the residence halls are wired for telephone and cable TV plus have access to the University Internet and e-mail systems. A new hall is being constructed and will open in January 2012.
