Can I loft my bed in Women's Quad?

You cannot add your own kit -- USC's Lofting Kit Procedure lists Women's Quad among the buildings where lofts and bed risers are not allowed. The beds already come lofted, though, and the wing pages publish a 60-inch maximum and 25.5-inch minimum bed height, so the university-issued frame adjusts across that range.

How many people share a bathroom in Women's Quad?

Each four-person suite (two two-person bedrooms) shares one bathroom with a shower and toilet. No shower curtain is provided.

Is Women's Quad only for women?

Yes. USC's wing pages list it as housing for female students, and USC's first-year residence hall list categorizes Women's Quad as a female suite-style building.

Is Women's Quad air conditioned?

USC does not list AC status on its Women's Quad pages. Its mold-prevention page does describe housing staff checking fan coil units inside student rooms, which points to rooms being mechanically conditioned. Confirm current HVAC status directly with Residence Life before move-in.

Living in Women's Quad: what to know before you pack

The room

Women's Quad combines three former residence halls (the M, S and W wings) into one recently renovated suite-style community for female students. Each two-person bedroom has vinyl faux-wood flooring, 130-inch ceilings, a 25" x 57" window, a sink with a 24" x 36" mirror, two three-drawer dressers, two wardrobes with whiteboard doors, two filing cabinets for locking storage, and two desks with chairs. USC describes the bedrooms as having two lofted beds: an extra-long twin frame measuring 38" deep x 85" wide x 60" tall with 80.5 inches of clear width underneath, adjusting between a 25.5-inch minimum and a 60-inch maximum bed height. Loft kits and risers you bring yourself are not permitted here. Two bedrooms share one bathroom with a shower (no curtain provided) and toilet, making each suite feel more private than a traditional floor-shared bathroom setup.

Day to day

Each wing has three floors with elevator and keycard access, kitchens on the first floor and in the basement, and a basement laundry room. Women's Quad also includes community and entertainment rooms plus two residential classrooms, giving it more built-in academic and social space than most traditional halls. It is centrally located just off Greene Street, adjacent to the Russell House University Union, putting residents within easy walking distance of dining, student organizations, and campus events.

Move-in day

Women's Quad is not on USC's Friday, August 14 early list, so it follows the general Saturday, August 15, 2026 move-in day, with arrival slots reserved in 30-minute increments through the Housing Portal. The M wing address is 720 Bull Street. Its central Greene Street location next to the Russell House makes for a short walk from nearby unloading areas, though expect heavier pedestrian and vehicle traffic given the proximity to the heart of campus during peak move-in hours. Set your bed height while the room is empty -- the frame adjusts between 25.5 and 60 inches and cannot be supplemented with risers.
