Residence Life & Housing
Residence Halls
SWBTS has two residence halls: Barnard Hall for women and Fort Worth Hall for men. Built in 1910, Fort Worth Hall was the first building to be constructed on campus.
Barnard Hall, the second building to be constructed as the Women’s Missionary Training School in 1914, was named for a former dean of women. Today these halls serve as residences for as many as 200 men and 150 women as they prepare for gospel ministry.
Features:
- Double occupancy rooms
- Twin-sized bed
- Dresser
- Closet or wardrobe
- Desk and chair
- Bookshelf
- Community bathrooms
- Coin-operated laundry on-site
All Texas Baptist College students are required to live in the Residence Halls until they graduate or turn 26 years old. In order to accommodate this policy and the growth of Texas Baptist College, residents must be 25 years old and younger to reside in a residence hall. Residents turning 26 during the semester may finish the semester but must move out by the graduation move-out deadline. This policy applies to both Southwestern Seminary and Texas Baptist College residents.
