HONORS COLLEGE RESIDENCE LIFE


Living in the Tobin House

 

The Tobin House is a special living option offered in collaboration between the Honors College and Residence Life for the 2023-24 academic year. 
Located on the corner of Sorority Row and 15th Street, the Tudor-style landmark was built in 1930 by architect Wilbur Hitchcock to house the fraternity Sigma Phi Epsilon. It was purchased in 2013 by the University of Wyoming for additional on-campus housing and renovated in 2019. 
On the main floor of the house, there is a formal dining area and sitting room along with a multiple comfortable lounges and grand fireplace. Both double and single rooms are equipped with single beds that can be lofted or bunked, a desk with a hutch and chair, and two, two drawer dressers. 
The Tobin House has a full kitchen (excluding oven), game room, study areas, laundry facilities, and an abundance of usable space for activities.
The application for 2024-2025 is currently open. If you are interested in living in Tobin House, please complete the Honors House Application.
