Room and Facility Questions

55% of our rooms are traditional, which means they have a community-style bathroom. 25% of our rooms are suite-style and 20% are traditional-private (West/Wefald have shared private-bathrooms). An example of a standard floor plan and breakdown of which styles are available in each building can be viewed in your Resident Portal by clicking the “view floor plans” link under your contract.

Please note that Goodnow Hall and Marlatt Hall have an extremely limited number of suite-style rooms. Only a few floors have one wing of suites, so some of the suite types only have two rooms in that hall. These rooms are also popular with returning students who have already selected rooms for next year, a benefit that first-year students get if they return to the halls for another year(s).

All rooms with three digits have the floor as the first digit. Rooms with two digits are in the lower level/basement.

Yes, there will be rooms. The communities and room types will depend on what students who selected before you chose. Wefald Hall and all of our suite-style rooms are typically the most in-demand room types.

We have approximately 80 2x2 suites. That inventory is then divided by gender.

We have a very limited number of one person suites across campus. These suites are used for housing accommodations or located within the Honors Housing Community. If you are interested in living in a suite, we highly recommend our two, three, or four person suites. If you are in need of a housing accommodation, you may find additional information here: Register with the Student Access Center (k-state.edu). If you are interested in joining the Honors Housing Community, you may find the application here: Honors Housing (k-state.edu)

Single rooms are available in limited quantities in Moore, Haymaker, Wefald, and Putnam Hall. Our returner selection is before new student room selection, and therefore availability of single rooms will be dependent on what returning students select during their selection time.

No, residents are not restricted to certain halls if they need to stay for break housing (fall break, winter break and spring break). The university will designate certain facilities to operate each break period. A resident may need to temporarily relocate during each break period to another hall or a furnished on-campus apartment for the duration of the break.

Traditional bathrooms: Students who live in traditional rooms share a community bathroom with divided toilet stalls and divided shower stalls with a shower curtain and privacy curtain.

Traditional-private bathrooms: communities with an upgraded group of shared, lockable bathrooms (like your bathroom at home). Each of the 4-5 individual bathrooms have a sink, toilet and shower behind a locked door. These individual bathrooms are shared amongst those that live on that wing.

Each wing has 4-5 bathrooms in each pod.

Most residence hall options are single-sex by wing (2-3 wings per floor that share a lobby/common area). Most halls have one wing male and one wing female or a mix if there are three wings on that floor. In the traditional community-style bathrooms, students would not share the bathroom with those of the opposite sex.

Our traditional-private wings do have co-ed options (residents share 4-5 lockable bathrooms with the opposite sex), the room selection process will indicate that on the specific room. If nothing is listed on the room, it is considered single-sex bathroom use.
