\"Collins<\/p>\n

For more than 65 years, Collins Residence Hall<\/a> has been the beginning of Baylor stories for thousands of women — a tradition that continues today.<\/p>\n

After closing throughout 2022-23 for a yearlong renovation, Collins reopened last fall to welcome a new class of Bears. There’s plenty that’s new, from plumbing to security — even a new main entrance on 7th Street, pointing towards campus. But there’s plenty of the old, as well — from the memorable 8th Street steps (preserved as a back entrance) to the memories of former Collins residents that are literally embedded in the walls. (Learn more about the renovation in this Baylor Magazine<\/em> feature<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
