WELCOME TO HOBART HOUSE!​

Hobart House, also known as Northwestern University’s Women’s Residential College (WRC) or 630 Emerson, is the only all-women dorm on campus. Residents refer to the dorm affectionately as "Hobe."

The dorm houses 50 undergraduates of various majors in spacious single, double, and triple rooms, which are known for being the largest of any dorm on campus. Situated within the sorority quad, Hobart is in the perfect location to take advantage of downtown Evanston, Norris University Center, and the University Library. Our proximity to Purple Line stops Davis and Foster makes trips to Chicago convenient.

Hobart is also right across the street from Searle Hall, the university health services building. It is just a couple minutes from two of the dining halls: Allison Hall and Foster-Walker Complex (Plex). Residents have access to their own dining room in the east side of Plex for Fellows Lunches.
