Residence Halls
More than just a place to sleep, your residence hall is your home away from home.
The Social Center of Your College Experience
Everything you need, surrounded by everyone you know.
Campus housing is just a quick walk to your classes, club meetings, athletic practices, and the dining hall.
Living on campus completes your college experience by allowing you to connect with friends, get involved, and interact with faculty and staff. For this reason, full-time students must live on campus unless they qualify for a residency exemption.
For Current Students
Do you need to apply for housing next year, change your meal plan, find move-in and move-out dates, or apply to be a resident assistant?
Our Residence Halls
Baker offers several living environments for students on the Baldwin City campus. From suites that are next to classrooms in the New Living Center to calling an apartment home, these are the places you’ll laugh, study, and meet friends you’ll have for the rest of your life.
Gessner Hall
A classic first‑year community where you’ll build lifelong friendships. Gessner offers traditional rooms, easy access to campus life, and a supportive environment designed to help you settle in and thrive.
Horn & Markham Apartments
Perfect for students who want more independence. These apartment‑style spaces offer private bedrooms, full kitchens, and a comfortable home base while keeping you connected to the Baker community.
Irwin Hall
A cozy, close‑knit residence hall known for its welcoming atmosphere. Irwin gives you a quiet place to focus, relax, and make meaningful connections just steps from academic spaces.
