Located on the corner of Chestnut Street and Avenue C, Bruce is arguably the most character-rich hall within Housing. First opened in 1946 as an all female dorm, Bruce Hall (now coed) is the oldest residence hall on the UNT campus and boasts a history that includes a handful of famous ex-residents, such as Norah Jones and Don Henley.
Due to its close proximity to the Music Building, Bruce is home to the Music and Jazz Living Learning Community and cultivates a creative environment for all its residents. Residents of the hall are called "Brucelings".
