Boreman splits into North (female) and South (coed). Neither wing is air conditioned — along with Dadisman, these are the only WVU halls without AC — so a fan is strongly recommended. Boreman South's furnishing list includes desk lamps; Boreman North's does not.

Living in Boreman Hall: what to know before you pack

The room

Boreman Hall sits right across from the Mountainlair Student Union and is split into two wings, Boreman North and Boreman South. North offers single, double, and triple rooms with large community-style bathrooms shared by the floor. South offers the same room sizes plus suite options — single, double, triple, and quad suites that connect to a bathroom shared among a smaller group of suitemates. Every room includes a study desk and chair, a dresser, a free-standing wardrobe or closet, drapes, and an extra-long twin bed; Boreman South additionally provides desk lamps, which North does not. Under-bed clearance measures roughly 11 3/4" at the frame's highest setting, though WVU notes some vary. The frame adjusts in height, but WVU policy bans lofting and bunking outright and permits only plastic risers up to 6 inches.

Day to day

Boreman North is a female-only community of about 222 residents, while Boreman South is coed with about 314 residents — both wings share the Boreman name but run as distinct communities. The hall sits in WVU's downtown neighborhood alongside Dadisman and Stalnaker, steps from shops, restaurants, and the historic downtown campus. Neither wing is air conditioned, and Boreman and Dadisman are the only halls on campus in that position — a real consideration for August move-in and the warmer weeks of the fall semester. Rooms are not carpeted, so a rug is worth packing. Boreman doesn't currently host a themed Living-Learning Community, and its amenities lean toward fitness and recreation rather than academic support spaces.

Move-in day

Boreman move-in falls within WVU's general Fall 2026 window of Thursday, August 13 through Saturday, August 15. Because the building isn't air conditioned, a box fan or tower fan should go in the car before the drive to Morgantown — WVU's own packing guide recommends a fan specifically for buildings without AC. Boreman's downtown location means move-in traffic and loading zones can get congested with several nearby halls unloading at once, so arriving early in the assigned window helps. Community bathrooms in Boreman North mean shared floor supplies like a shower caddy, bathrobe, and shower shoes are worth packing.
