Though most freshmen have taken the MU tour or have been exposed to the residence halls before their move onto campus, knowing information about each hall and where they are located can be very useful information throughout the year, whether you need to find a dining hall to eat in between classes, or you are looking for a quiet study space away from your own hall.

Located on East Campus, Hatch and Schurz Halls house 550 men and women, each with both single gender and coed floors. Schurz Hall also has two quiet floors.

Adjacent to both, the common area, Bingham Hall, contains the mail room, a large meeting/classroom area for group studying and the carry-out dining facility, Baja Bingham. Hatch and Schurz are on the opposite side of college from the main campus, but can be reached by the new connecting bridge, located between the Virginia Avenue Group and the Rollins Group.
