Home to approximately 620 students, the McMindes community is intentionally designed to empower the new student to make a successful intellectual and social transition to college life. Unique features of McMindes Hall include private pod-style restrooms and showers and the only on-campus dining facility.

McMindes Hall was constructed in 1963 and was originally a female-only residence. The hall is named after Maude M.

McMindes is known for reforming and improving the Secondary Education program during her tenure at FHSU.
