Vandiver Residence Hall

The front of Vandiver Residence Hall bears a branded graphic reading “Do you have the will to do?”
Willard Duncan Vandiver Hall is a five-story, suite-style residence hall located near the entrance to SEMO’s campus. The first floor houses the main shared spaces, including the laundry room, customer service desk, mailroom, hall director office, and game lounge. A central living room with a kitchenette can be found on each floor, offering plenty of room for meetings, social gatherings, studying, or relaxing. A second, mid-sized lounge provides a more social and cozy space for residents to meet.  
 
Vandiver Hall is conveniently located next to the University Center and near Kent Library, Capaha Park, and local restaurants. Take a virtual tour to get a full picture of what life at Vandiver Hall has to offer.
