The Classics

University Housing Services (UHS) manages four traditional residence halls, located on the southeast corner of the San José State University campus. Three of the halls are three-story brick buildings. The fourth hall, Joe West Hall, is a twelve-story high-rise.

HOOVER HALL, ROYCE HALL, & WASHBURN HALL

Affectionately known as "The Bricks", these three residence halls offer small living-learning environments for approximately 250 students. Each hall is divided into 6 wings of approximately 48 students each, a design which helps promote community among the residents. The Bricks offers a traditional college living experience, and enables students to get involved, and build life-long friendships. University Housing Services highly recommends this small community experience to incoming first-year students in order to ease the transition to college and provide a supportive first-year experience. Rooms in the bricks are double or triple occupancy with two or three students assigned to each room.

AMENITIES

The Bricks do not have elevators but are equipped with air conditioning, and offer a high speed internet connection with wireless service in all common areas, local telephone service, cable television, and an on-site laundry facility. Bricks residents have access to the Resident Activity Center (RAC) located in Campus Village Building B, which offers a gaming area with air hockey, ping pong, and pool. The RAC also has 4 meeting rooms which include a DVD player so you can watch the latest movies with your friends and classmates. We also offer a courtesy desk in The Bricks during the academic year to assist you.  Hoover Hall, Royce Hall and Washburn Hall Courtesy Desk hours for Fall 2008 are from 4:00pm to 12:00am, 7 days a week.
