Quadrangle (Quad), is nestled within a courtyard area and houses approximately 800 students in five coed halls: Bates, Law, Oberholtzer (OB), Settegast, and Taub. Residents reside in two double-occupancy suites (a total of four residents) equipped with a private bath. Floors are coed, but suites are single-gender. Residents can arrange the furnished rooms to suit their needs.
Oberholtzer Hall. OB Hall is centrally located in the Quads. Residents will find many offices there including Housing Services, Area Coordinator, Residence Halls Association (RHA), Urban Experience, Residential Life, and the Executive Director. OB cafeteria and the convenience store are located on the south side of OB. The OB Ballroom, located on the 2nd floor, holds many events.
Pricing. Pricing for honors, out-of-state and international students is the same. Prices shown are based on a full academic year agreement (Fall & Spring semesters). Residents will pay for one semester at a time (half the Academic Year price is charged to the student's fee bill each semester). The meal plan is also charged in the same manner and at the same time as the room charge (half the Academic Year price is charged to the student's fee bill each semester). Students enrolled for Summer Session I or IV may reside on-campus during that session for half the Summer rate. For current pricing please check our room rates.
Security. All residents are required to use their Cougar 1Card to gain entry to their hall. This prevents unauthorized people from entering residential areas. There are two entrances to each building. Residents will receive a special patented key to access their room. The doors lock when closed and have peep holes. Suite doors are lockable on both sides. Each floor typically has two RAs. A Desk Assistant is stationed in OB Hall during after hours. UH has its own police department that offers an escort service.
Smoking. The RLH facilities are smoke-free. Residents are not allowed to smoke in the buildings.
Floor Plans. Most rooms are normal double room suites. There are slight variances including a private double room (no suite room), a single room suite (suite with a double room), and a three person private room. All rooms in the Quadrangle are charged the same Double rate. New applicants may not select a particular type of room. Residents transferring or going through Priority Room Sign-up may select from available rooms.
