Best dorms at UW?

1 Comments

If you want a big green space to play soccer, have a safe environment, and live close to dining halls, grocery store, and business buildings, live in either McCarty, Madrona, or Oak. If you want to explore new foods on the infamous "Ave", play games with friends like Air Hockey, Ping Pong, Pool, or Nintendo Switch, and live next to a small nearby gym to get in a quick workout, live in West Campus dorms such as Lander, Maple, or Elm.

UW Housing

UW dorms come in a few different styles: single, double and triple rooms, suite style rooms, and apartment style rooms. First year students get last priority to choose a room, so they usually occupy the double, triple, and suite style rooms. Upperclassmen usually move off campus or choose to live in the apartment style rooms. There are also two main locations of dorms, West and North campus. When living on campus you are forced to have a dining plan with Housing and Food Services which enables you to eat at the dining halls and other on campus food options.
