Nelson Hall, a four-story building with males and females living on alternate floors, provides a quaint living experience that allows residents to get to know each other well. Nelson residents enjoy a friendly community committed to helping others.

A tradition of the hall is an annual “Haunted Hall” event that transforms the basement of the hall into a haunted house that is open to the campus and Oshkosh community. Money raised from the event benefits a different local charity each year.

Hall facilities include a computer lab, weight room, exercise room, ping pong and pool tables, a large TV/study lounge, kitchen in the basement and study lounge on each floor.  

Nelson Hall is centrally located between the residence halls, across from Blackhawk Commons and just down the road from Reeve Union.

N. Peter Nelson Nelson Hall was opened in 1965 and dedicated to N. Peter Nelson, a staff member at UW Oshkosh from 1924-1963. Nelson graduated from the University of Chicago in 1924 and Columbia University in 1929. Nelson was a "dynamic, intelligent" instructor of education courses. He was also the director of the division of Secondary Education. Throughout his career he was an untiring innovator who demanded excellence in educational affairs.
