Cotten Residence Hall

Historic Cotten Hall houses approximately 260 students in the Central neighborhood. Many of the rooms overlook Trustees Fountain near the main entrance to campus. Cotten’s tile roof continues the Spanish-mission style of architecture found in ECU’s original residence halls. Room and window sizes vary because of the hall’s historic nature. Located just a short walk from many classroom buildings and the Joyner Library, Cotten Hall features double rooms with community bathrooms on each floor. As in all ECU residence halls, every room is air conditioned and includes a microwave oven and small refrigerator. Laundry facilities are available in the building along with lounges where students can study or relax with friends.

Information provided is for the most common layout for double rooms. Single rooms usually only have one bed, and may only have one set of room furniture, some single rooms may have a second set of some of the furniture if it is a temporary single for that academic year.
