At WCJC, you can get the whole college experience by living on campus! Living on campus is safe, convenient, and fun! Our housing is open to all full-time enrolled students. Mullins Hall and Frankie Hall are traditional residence halls located on the Wharton campus. All rooms are double-occupancy and provide twin-size beds, desks, chairs, and dressers for both residents. Both halls boast a student lounge, wi-fi internet, cable TV, and free laundry facilities.
Unlike traditional apartments and off-campus housing, our residence halls come with a one-time fee each semester. These fees cover the cost of the room and all amenities for the entire semester.
| Fee | Price (per semester) |
|---|---|
| Room Fee | $1,000 |
| Board Plan | $1,800 |
| Total | $2,800 |
