Towers East and South Residence Halls

Towers Circle at the Towers Complex and Group Housing featuring colorful autumn trees on a Fall day.

Towers East and South are the places you move in, meet your people, and instantly feel part of something bigger.

A lot of SEMO stories really begin at Towers East and South. These halls make it easy to meet people, kickstart campus life, and build friendships that become your community long after your first year.

Towers East and South have gender-specific floors with community-style living in double or single rooms. Each floor shares a bathroom and shower space with private stalls. Your room will have all the essentials: a bed, desk, chair, clothing storage, and your own sink. 

Want to hang out with friends? Every floor has a cozy lounge with a TV, microwave, and plenty of space to study, chill, or just hang out and visit.
