Residence Facilities

The current residence facilities at Montclair State University are:

• Blanton Hall
  • This five-story coed complex houses 640 residents in all double rooms connected by a bathroom. Only four residents share each "suite" bathroom.

• Bohn Hall
  • The tallest building at MSU, housing approximately 700 co-ed residents in double rooms. Each wing has its own community bathroom facility. Floor heads such as "RAs" have their own personal room to conduct their business. Bohn Hall is also an all freshman dorm residence hall.

• Hawk Crossings
  • These co-ed apartment units house 350 upperclassmen. Each apartment has two bedrooms, housing four residents. Each apartment has a kitchen and bathroom. Previously known as Clove Road Apartments, this complex was renamed Hawk Crossings in Fall 2010.

• Freeman Hall
  • Housing approximately 235 co-ed residents, the Freeman community is home to mainly students of music or athletic training. Residents live in a "suite" style double rooms, in which two rooms share a bathroom.

• Russ Hall
  • Russ Hall is a coed upperclassmen community and houses the international community, housing 91 residents in a "suite" style community. Russ Hall was converted from an administrative building into a residential facility in the late 1990s.

• Stone Hall
  • Stone Hall is the oldest residence facility and is currently offline.

• The Village at Little Falls
  • Consists of four separate residential buildings: Williams Hall, Basie Hall, Fenwick Hall, and Alice Paul hall.
  • A fifth building, the Abbott & Costello Center, contains a gym facility and police sub-station.
  • 848-beds in an apartment style (a set of bedrooms that share a common kitchen, living room, and dining area)

• Webster Hall
  • A residence hall used mainly for overflow and transfer housing. Student typically only stay here until another room becomes available.

• LaQuinta Inn
  • Due to overcrowding and overbooking of the on-campus housing, MSU has many of the overflow students staying in a local hotel a short car ride from the school. Transportation to and from the hotel is offered on a schedule every hour or so by the school shuttle service. It is also open to the public. Recently, the staff of MSU has been able to provide housing on-campus for all of its students. There are no longer any students residing in the hotel as of January 2011.

• Sinatra Hall
  • A new 6-floor suite-style residence hall located between Hawk Crossings Apartments and The Village at Little Falls opened in the Fall of 2010. The hall is set up suite style with a single, a double, and a triple all sharing a bathroom and a common area.

• The Heights: Hillside and Rec Center Sites
  • New construction on campus, two H-shaped buildings, to house 2,000 students, opened in August 2011 in the area of the Rec Center. Taking advantage of recent legislation, it was privately built and operated, with students paying rent directly to the developer, but consistent with the cost at The Village. The new dorm is located next to CarParc Diem. The Heights are divided into two H-shaped buildings. The Lower (Dinallo) Heights, and the Upper (Machuga) Heights. Both H-shaped buildings consist of four connected halls. The Lower Heights consists of Basilone, Whitman, Einstein, and Parker Halls; while the Upper Heights consists of Mills (Hall and Dining Hall), Gordon, Gibson and Barton Halls.
