It’s Like Coming Home
At Central State, our eleven residence halls are more than dorms. They’re a vital part of your cultural, academic, and social life. Surrounded by your peers and supported by Resident Advisors, this is where you’ll work hard, play hard, and be part of a tight-knit community that feels like family.
RAs Have Your Back
No matter which residence hall you call home, you’ll have the support of on-site peer leaders and a Resident Advisor. The RA is the glue who holds everyone together, organizing activities, lending an ear, and helping you iron out rough spots.

First-Year Residence Halls
Every first-year student at Central State lives on campus in one of four conveniently located residence halls, where you’ll develop strong bonds and create a community you can count on. Foundation Hall II is a co-ed hall for all, Williamson Hall is a women-only space, Hunter Hall is a male-only space, and Harry G. Johns Hall welcomes honors students who maintain GPAs of 3.5 or higher.
