The University of Missouri's historic Francis Quadrangle is anchored by Jesse Hall, built in 1895 to replace the fire-destroyed Academic Hall, with the original building's surviving Columns preserved nearby - the same Columns first-year students walk through during Tiger Walk, with housing in halls including Brooks and Defoe-Graham.

Move-In
Spring 2027 Move-In Details
New spring students may begin moving in Friday, Jan. 15. Check in at the desk that supports your hall.
Check your assignment in the housing portal for your specific date and time.
Move-in day tips
- Arrive during your assigned move-in window - arriving early may mean waiting until your time slot.
- Bring a rolling cart or hand truck - campus carts can run out quickly during busy move-in periods.
- Have a parking backup plan - spaces near residence halls can fill up quickly, so know where you can unload if your preferred area is full.
- Watch the loading-zone time limit - many campuses require you to move your vehicle to longer-term parking after unloading.
