Student Housing

Scholars will be housed in double occupancy dormitory rooms in Mosher Jordan and Couzens residence halls.

The entrance of Mosher-Jordan Residence HallMosher-Jordan Residence Hall reopened in the fall of 2008 after a two-year renovation. Constructed in 1930, Mosher-Jordan’s period architectural style and details have been preserved, while the infrastructure has been modernized to include air-conditioning, wired and wireless high-speed network access, new fire detection and suppression systems, renovated bath facilities, new elevators, accessibility improvements, and new plumbing, heating and ventilation.

Additionally, the renovation has created new spaces including a multilevel lobby with centralized resident services, two additional living rooms, and a multipurpose area that can be in divided into separate rooms for classes and meetings.

Mosher-Jordan Hall was completed in 1930 at a cost of $800,000. The residence hall was named after the first two Deans of Women at U-M: Eliza M. Mosher and Myra B. Jordan. Since Mosher-Jordan was constructed as an all-female residence hall, the landladies of Ann Arbor heatedly protested because they felt their rooms would go empty. Their fears were never realized. Mosher-Jordan remained all-female until 1968, when it became co-educational.

Couzens Residence HallCouzens Residence Hall is located in the Hill Area, a small walking distance from Mosher-Jordan, and was built in 1926.

Couzens also houses the Michigan Community Scholars Program, otherwise known as M.S.. M.S. is a Living Learning Community which focuses on community service, social justice, leadership, and academic excellence. M.S. courses are taught right in Couzens Hall where M.S. students live.

James Couzens, a United States Senator from Michigan, donated the $600,000 necessary to complete the residence hall. Couzens Hall was built in 1926 to house female nursing students. The facility remained exclusively female until the '69-'70 academic year, when it became co-educational.

Note: The majority of students will be housed in Mosher-Jordan, which is air-conditioned, with the balance of students housed in the non air-conditioned Couzens Residence Hall.
