Scott-South is part of the Scott Hall Complex, which also includes Scott-North and Scott-West. The Scott Hall complex, located on Main Street across from the UMF Admissions Office, is UMF’s largest residence hall, an expansive 3-story building. The lower level of Scott-South has a large laundry room and the lower level of Scott-North, to which Scott-South is connected, has a full kitchen.

Residing in this building is an Area Director who assists in the development of communal living. This staff person is responsible for enhancing residents’ college experience by assisting in promoting programs within the hall.

Programs designed by the six Community Assistants in the hall promote the development of both academic and social skills. A Community Assistant is an upper class UMF student who assists in building community within their areas, as well as help residents get involved in the campus community through various programming initiatives.

The floors in the Scott Complex are distinct by number, floor from ground level up, and by direction, defined as North, South and West. The beds are not bunked; however, if upon moving in all roommates want the beds bunked, University staff will assist is setting this up. Please note that the All-Access Meal Plan is required for all First-Year Students.

Building Description

1st & 2nd Floor — All Female Community

Single-gender community comprised entirely of women.

3rd Floor — Lavender Themed Community

Although the 1st and 2nd floors of Scott-South are same-sex rooms by neighbor, the University allows for students on the 3rd floor of Scott Hall to choose a gender inclusive placement.

Unique to the 3rd floor of Scott South is our Lavender Living Learning Community. The Lavender community is a warm and welcoming environment for our LGBTQ+ students here at UMF. Lavender has been a symbol of empowerment in LGBTQ+ history, and here at UMF our goal is to create a safe and positive community where LGBTQ+ students and allies feel empowered and empower each other.

Students living in the Lavender community are encouraged to take part in the programs and events hosted by the Community Assistants on the floor. A component of community programming on this floor is focused on increasing knowledge, understanding, and awareness of the LGBTQ+ community found on the Farmington campus.
