The largest residence hall on campus, Scott Hall consists of two connected 10-story housing facilities, North Scott and South Scott. The hall’s floors offer scattered, coed or all women’s living options.

Residents of both towers share a large main lounge, which includes a kitchen, big-screen TV, baby grand piano and ping-pong, foosball and pool tables. The main desk provides many items including games, kitchen equipment and a change machine.

Scott Hall also has its own dining facility, Scotty’s, offering a convenience store, fresh subs and a Pizza Hut. Other hall facilities include a study lounge on every floor, laundry room and a computer lab.

Located on one of Oshkosh’s main roads, Wisconsin Avenue, Scott Hall is located next to Blackhawk Commons and within a short walking distance from off-campus dining.
