Housing

The living arrangement for students at Hesston is distinct to say the least. Students live in what are known as “mods” (much easier than “modular living units”) which provide a more casual, comfortable, intimate environment. At least that’s what we’re told.

In each mod, there are five to eight rooms and nine to 15 students total. So unlike huge residence halls that have dozens of rooms on each floor—and dozens upon dozens of students—students at Hesston get to know their “modmates” much more quickly and closely.

Erb Hall
Erb Hall has an east, central, and west wing, with a total occupancy of around 250. There are no coed mods at Hesston. Female students live in Erb Hall’s east and central wings. Male students live in the west wing.

Kauffman Court
Kauffman Court has an occupancy of around 120, and houses male students only. All mods in Kauffman Court have a private entrance.

The Goods
All mod rooms are about the same size,(Erb Hall 12' x 15', Kauffman Court 11' x 13') are carpeted, and have air conditioning. Additionally, they are all furnished with the following items for each student:

1. Bed
2. Mattress
3. Mattress pad
4. Dresser
5. Mirror
6. Desk
7. Chair
8. Desk lamp
9. Bulletin board
10. Book shelves
11. Blinds
12. Modular phone jack
13. Campus computer network jack

Each mod also features a lounge area—outside of the rooms—where students gather to watch TV, play games, study, hold Bible study meetings, and whatnot. Also, each dorm has coin-operated laundry facilities.
