Cheney Hall is a unique residence hall with 110 residents (reserved for returning students). The entire hall operates as a single community, which differs from the way floor communities often develop in the Towers area. Cheney Hall has a rich tradition of student involvement in hall activities, international programs, and artistic pursuits. Because of the high demand for Cheney rooms, this residence hall is reserved for returning students.  

Conveniently located at the middle of campus, Cheney offers easy access to Academic, Brandt, Carnahan, Parker, Scully, and Dempster buildings.

Cheney Hall has a distinct personality, combining international and global awareness with artistic and non-traditional student interests. If you like rich, old architecture with an eclectic feel and furnishings, this hall may be just for you!

Each floor has a separate shower area, with privatized shower facilities. Most student rooms have a sink, which students find very convenient! Rooms on the lowest floor, often called the basement by residents, do not have a sink. There is a lounge with comfortable furniture, a microwave, and a television on the first floor, in addition to a community lounge on the second floor with a  television, furniture, and study tables. 

The lounge has a large-screen television, comfortable furniture, and an ice machine. The large laundry room means one-stop laundryand there are enough machines to wash all of your clothes at once!

Each room is equipped with a cable TV and telephone line (phone service not included in the room rate and must be contracted for separately with Telecommunications). Each room has a Local Area Network (LAN) port for each resident of the room. Most rooms are double occupancy. Each rooms include two of the following: beds, desks, desk chairs, dressers, and closets.

There is no typical room in Cheney Hall - each has its own personality! Room measurements (approximate) are 15’8” W x 15’7” L x 8’ H. Windows vary in size depending on the room.
