About the Residence
W.E.B. Du Bois College House is a low rise community that is home to roughly 160 residents. DuBois provides an environment that embraces African American scholarship and culture. In summer 2009, the House underwent a renovation that included modern new windows, all new kitchen/bathroom appliances and furniture in student rooms, as well as upgraded flooring and lighting throughout the building. The room types in DuBois include singles, doubles, triples and quads.
