Bluff Hall opened August 2001 and houses first year residents. Bluff is located directly across from the Engineering Building and the Art & Design Building. The activity wing boasts a multifunction room, Learning Resource Center, 24-hour computer lab, and a classroom. Residents can purchase grab and go food items from the Bluff Hall Cafe. This eating venue is open limited hours mornings and evenings Monday thru Friday. In addition, Bluff Hall is home to our Focused Interest Communities. Focused Interest Communities house first year residents together based on common academic major, pursuit or interest.

Bluff, Prairie, and Woodland Halls feature suite-style living, with two residents sharing a room and four residents sharing a bathroom.  Each living unit is furnished with two twin bunkable beds with extra-long twin mattresses, two desks with a desktop book shelf, two chairs, two three-drawer chest of drawers, blinds, wall-to-wall carpet, and spacious closet.
