A large multi-purpose room, centralized laundry, and lounges on every floor offer regular opportunities to interact with other residents in the community.
*Due to an increased number of first year students attending Georgia Southern this fall, we will transition all rooms in Watson Hall from double occupancy to triple occupancy spaces. As a result of this change, your room rate for Watson Hall will decrease to $2,100 per semester.
Floor Plans
*Arrangements of furniture in this space include a closet, a desk and a dresser (not pictured) in each room under lofted beds. Please note that floor plans may vary with the finish color on furniture and floor/carpet color (Watson Hall currently has VCT tile)*
*For 2025-2026 there will be various upgrades to Watson throughout the summer. Starting this fall, new flooring including luxury vinyl plank in the bedroom space will be installed and new paint throughout the building.
