Nine co-ed halls forming Wright State's largest first-year community. Every room has resident-controlled A/C, but it won't run below 65 degrees outside temperature — pack layers for cool snaps.

What’s different about The Woods

The core checklist below works everywhere. These are the few things that are genuinely different about this building — get them right and the rest is easy.

Partial AC — pack a fan anyway

The Woods's cooling is partial and residents report it as uneven. Don't count on it; a small fan is cheap insurance.

13-23in under-bed, staff-set bunk clearance

Measure before you buy storage bins. Most on Amazon are 12"+ and won't slide under a 13-23in under-bed, staff-set bunk frame — buy low-profile.

Beds are XL Twin, staff-bunkable

Standard twin bedding slips right off. Buy sheets, a topper, and a mattress pad labeled XL Twin specifically.

Fridge & microwave provided

Your room already includes a fridge/microwave unit — don't buy your own. Personal fridges and microwaves are almost always prohibited here anyway.
