Mitchell Towers

The Mitchell Towers Experience

Mitchell Towers is an upperclass student residence hall with a focus on suite-style living (semi-private bathrooms) and close-knit floor communities. Each of the four floors features a central, shared lounge space for students to study and spend downtime with their friends and neighbors. Communal first and ground floor lounges between each tower are available to hang out, play pool, watch movies, or bake cookies together. The Mitchell Towers living experience provides students the space to create the bonds and communities that they choose, with the opportunity to make new connections just a floor away.
