Oakwood-Slater Hall

Men’s Residence Hall

Brotherhood. Tradition. Acceptance. These are the core pieces of the Oakwood-Slater Hall experience. Bethel doesn’t need fraternities because we have Oakwood. These four walls, 45 rooms, and 99 beds have been around for more than 50 years.

And if the walls could tell stories, they’d include late-night Taco Bell runs, full-scale Nerf wars, Dude Week, and our five-year undefeated run in the Oakwood-Manges Football Game. But mostly they would talk about a sense of community so intense it hangs in the air. Bethel’s not a party school, and Oakwood’s not a party dorm. It’s also not the prettiest dorm you’ll see, but we can guarantee the Oakwood experience at Bethel is second to none. Be a part of the Oakwood legacy and make your first year something you’ll tell your kids and grandkids about!
