SETTLING DOWN IN THE 'SCHOL HALLS'
BY KATIE BLANKENAU kblankenau@kansan.com
For those looking for every little bit of the college experience, scholarship halls stand out as a smorgasbord of living situations.
These comfortable, chameleon-like institutions possess traits of apartments, residence halls, sororities and fraternities.
The University of Kansas has 12 scholarship halls, or schol halls. There are six women's halls and six men's, with another men's hall on the way. The oldest hall, Watkins Hall, opened as a women's hall in 1926.

About 50 students, freshmen to seniors, live in each hall. Admittance is based on applications, which take involvement, grades and financial need into account.
