Does every room in Centennial have a private bathroom?

Doubles and triples do -- BGSU describes both as having a private bathroom. The building's 15 single rooms instead cluster three bedrooms around a common area and one shared bathroom.

Can first-year students request a single room?

Yes, but BGSU lists only 15 singles in the whole building, and they tend to go fast since Centennial is one of the first halls many new students select.

Is Centennial Hall air-conditioned?

Yes. Centennial is air-conditioned, unlike Kreischer Quadrangle, where the bedrooms are not.

Do triple rooms in Centennial get a fridge and microwave?

No -- BGSU states that triple rooms do not include a fridge and microwave and that students must provide their own. BGSU does not publish whether doubles and singles include them, so confirm with Residence Life.

Is Centennial Hall a good hall to live in?

That depends on what you're optimizing for, but here's what's verified: Centennial Hall has 80" x 36" XL twin, adjustable loft beds with Adjustable: 21"/42"/63" clearance of under-bed storage, and is fully air conditioned.

Living in Centennial Hall: what to know before you pack

The room

Centennial Hall's rooms come in three layouts. Most students get a traditional double: two roommates sharing one bedroom with its own private bathroom, no walk down a community hallway required. BGSU lists average double bedrooms at 10'10" x 13'8". A limited number of singles -- only 15 in the building -- cluster three bedrooms around a shared common area and one bathroom, giving more privacy while keeping some social space; those average 10.5' x 9'. Triples put three students in one bedroom, also with a private bathroom, and average 13'4" x 13'9". Every bedroom includes BGSU's standard extra-long twin adjustable loft bed, a desk and chair, a dresser, and a wardrobe or built-in closet. One thing to plan for: BGSU notes that triple rooms do not include a fridge and microwave, and that those must be provided by the students.

Day to day

Centennial is co-ed throughout the building, air-conditioned, and houses about 600 students -- all of them first-year or new transfer students, so the whole building is going through the same adjustment at once. Each floor has lounges for hanging out or studying, and the building holds a full kitchen, computer lab, and dedicated study space. Laundry is free and coin-free, Wi-Fi and BGTV streaming are included, and the building runs a 24-hour desk with secure building access. Because Centennial only takes new students and BGSU says its limited in-room bathroom layout makes it the fastest hall to fill, families who want it should have students select early -- especially for the 15 single rooms.

Move-in day

New and transfer students move into Centennial during BGSU's Fall 2026 move-in window, Aug. 19 and 20, scheduled through the Housing Portal. Because every room already has BGSU's adjustable loft bed installed, students don't need to bring or build a loft -- just XL twin sheets and a mattress pad sized to a 36" x 80" x 7" mattress. Beds arrive at the standard loft height with 57" of clearance underneath; Centennial's frames can also be set to a tall loft (63" of clearance), a junior loft (42"), or no loft (21"). If you want that changed before you arrive rather than doing it yourself, the request is due by Aug. 1. With private in-room bathrooms in doubles and triples, move-in day skips the usual scramble over shared hallway bathroom space, but expect full elevators during peak drop-off hours.
