Oswald Hall is located on the south end of a three-building complex that includes Daisy Hill Commons and Self Hall. Its rooms include two- and four-person suites, and private bedroom with shared bath. Rooms are single gender by suite, not by wing, and the building is reserved for newly admitted freshman only. The building is named for alumnus Charles W. "Charley" Oswald. His $22 million in lifetime giving included the creation of four professorships in the Department of Economics, as well as funds for faculty research in the department, along with unrestricted gifts.
