Housing Options
Whether you live in a traditional residence hall, an apartment or one of our suite-style residences, living on campus can be a highlight of your college experience. Your residence halls are minutes away from classrooms and the library—not to mention great restaurants, coffee shops and night spots in one of the 20 most affordable cities for college students.
All of Transylvania’s housing options are below.

Bassett Hall
Bassett Hall offers suite‑style living for upperclass students. Three of its four floors have common areas with moveable furniture, televisions and spaces for groups to hang out and work together.
Each two‑person room is furnished with beds, dressers, closets, desks, chairs and sinks and is attached to a bathroom you will share with the room next door. Kitchen and laundry facilities are available.

Dalton-Voigt Residence Hall
The centerpiece of each floor in Dalton-Voigt Hall is a common study space where students can collaborate with their peers outside the classroom. By aligning these spaces with the individual rooms, the residence hall becomes an extension of the academic experience, a place where students are encouraged to continue the formidable discussions that began in the classroom.
Each two‑person room is furnished with beds, dressers, closets, desks, chairs and sinks and is attached to a bathroom you will share with the room next door. Kitchen and laundry facilities are available.

Each unit shares a bathroom with the room next to it, and study lounges are available. Rooms have beds, desks, chairs, dressers, shelves and closets. Kitchen and laundry facilities are also on-site.

Thomson Residence Hall
Thomson Residence Hall, opened in 2008, was the first residence hall in Kentucky to earn the EPA’s prestigious ENERGY STAR certification for energy efficiency. The three-story hall features 31 suite-style living units, a communal kitchen and is home to the VR lab.

The 42-apartment Warren W. Rosenthal Complex is equipped for community living. Each two‑person apartment has a private bath and a security alarm system, monitored by the Department of Public Safety, for which the residents have a personal code.
The Rosenthal community is sociable while providing a quiet study environment for all residents. The complex includes a meeting place for residents, student organizations and social programs, along with a laundry facility and cookout equipment.
