About Watkins Scholarship Hall

Watkins Scholarship Hall is one of the unique cooperative scholarship halls at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. Scholarship hall residents live in a close-knit community of roughly 25–50 students, sharing responsibilities such as meal preparation and building maintenance in exchange for significantly reduced housing costs. Watkins features single and double rooms, a shared kitchen, communal dining area, study lounges, laundry facilities, and a community atmosphere that alumni consistently describe as one of the most distinctive parts of their KU experience. The scholarship hall model is a long-standing KU tradition and a strong draw for students seeking an affordable, community-oriented alternative to conventional residence halls.

Bathrooms here are communal, so you'll be carrying your things down the hall. Students here often pick up:

EUDELE Mesh Shower Caddy Portable for College Dorm Room Esse · $9.99 Shower Shoez – Quick-Dry Shower Flip Flops · $10–$16
